Treatment for adults aged 18 and above only
** APPOINTMENTS FOR CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS BELOW AGE 18 BY REQUEST ONLY **
Please contact me on 07902 407228 and I will call you back to discuss your child's case.
An initial assessment includes a thorough appraisal of your medical history and a neurovascular review; where your pedal (foot) pulses will be checked with handheld Doppler ultrasound (this is non-invasive) and nerve function professionally assessed.
Felicity was a Clinical Diabetes Lead podiatrist in the NHS for several years, and maintains a keen interest in the subject so you can be sure that you are receiving exemplary foot care and advice in line with best practice and NICE guidance.
Typical problems treated include long nails, thick nails (onychauxis), fungal nails (onychomycosis), involuted (curled-in) and ingrowing nails (onychocryptosis), hard skin (callus), corns, dry skin (anhidrosis), athlete's foot (tinea pedis), and foot pain, such as plantar fasciiitis, metatarsalgia, Morton's neuroma and capsulitis.
If you have concerns around symptoms of neuropathy (loss of feeling, or odd sensations in the feet), slow-healing wounds or circulatory issues (including ankle swelling), Felicity can help with this.
A management plan will be discussed and all treatments are completed with the application of an hydrating Gehwol® foot spray and relaxing foot massage.​
A referral letter or summary of your appointment can be sent to your GP and is included in the fee. A fungal nail sample for microscopy & culture can be taken during your appointment and issued to you to take to your GP for testing, or can be arranged privately. In-clinic testing is also available. If any administration is required after your appointment, this will be charged separately.
A summary of advice discussed and/or a management plan will be emailed to you after your appointment where indicated.
An initial assessment is 45 minutes, with follow-up appointments typically lasting 30 minutes (£55). A 45 minute follow-up appointment is also available if you've not been seen for a while or require a little extra TLC.
