I went in struggling to walk with an ingrown nail, Fern and Esther carried out emergency surgery later the same day and it eased the pain straight away and is healing perfectly. Their aftercare follow up service is fantastic too. Highly recommend this company. Thank you for fixing me. suzieshaw2024-11-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

The first visit was brilliant, having neglected my feet for many years because of ill health I was instantly at ease.

Ann Gaimster2024-09-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Extremely happy with the service provided. Very helpful and caring. Always professional and informative. Would thoroughly recommend. Lily Depi2024-08-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Extremely happy with this clinic! I thought I had a verruca, and I went to another clinic where they didn’t bother to ask questions or actually check if it was a verruca or not.. I was very happy to come to Podocare in Wakefield because the doctor actually checked my foot and said it wasn’t a verruca but a cone callus and he shaved it off . This saved me lots of money because if I had done a treatment for verruca at the previous clinic, it wouldn’t have solved it, and I would have wasted hundreds of pounds. I’d 100% recommend this foot clinic to anyone with any foot problems. Wayne Allott2024-06-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My 14 yrd old son had suffered for months with ingrowing toes nails on both feet. Jamil has treated both toes and now my son has no pain and the nails look really well, natural and he has now made a return to full contact martial arts within weeks of them healing. I would recommend Jamil to anyone with feet problems. He is very personable and does a fantastic job. Baron2024-06-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service. Jamil is very knowledgeable, clearly explained treatment options and took the utmost care. Reception staff were very friendly and it’s great to have the option of late night appointments. I would thoroughly recommend this practice.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
