FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Does foot care hurt?

Treatment is gentle and we always work within your comfort level. Most patients find the appointment far more comfortable than they expected.

Do I need a referral?

No — you can book directly online or by phone. Some insurers require a GP referral before authorising treatment, so check with your insurer first if you're claiming.

Will the problem come back?

We provide prevention advice and long-term management guidance at every appointment to reduce the chance of recurrence.

Can you treat ingrown toenails?

Yes — we treat ingrown toenails on the day and provide ongoing support if needed. For recurring or severe cases, minor nail surgery is also available.

How much does an appointment cost?

Foot care appointments start from £75. Prices vary by clinic and practitioner. Treatment for corns, callus, ingrown toenails and verrucas is included within the appointment fee. See our full fees page for a complete breakdown.
