FAQs
Questions people ask
Do I need a referral from my GP?
No. We’re a private clinic, so you can book directly by phone, email or the booking form.
Can I get podiatry on the NHS instead?
NHS podiatry mostly sees people at higher risk of foot problems, such as those with diabetes-related complications, and routine nail care usually isn’t included. Many people choose private care so they can be seen quickly and regularly.
How long is an appointment?
Your first appointment takes about 45 minutes, including your assessment and treatment. Routine appointments after that take about 30 minutes.
When are you open?
Appointments are available Wednesday–Friday. See the opening hours for each day at the foot of this page.
What if I need to cancel?
If you need to change or cancel, please give us at least 24 hours’ notice. Missed appointments and later cancellations are charged £25.
Do you visit people at home?
Yes, for patients whose health or mobility makes it hard to get to the clinic. Call us to arrange it.
