Frequently Asked Questions

Can I claim back the cost of my podiatry/chiropody appointment via a health plan I pay into?

We can provide you with a receipt so that you can claim back all or a proportion of your treatment through your health plan provider . However, the treatment/consultation must be paid for by the patient on the day or in advance. Our clinic DOES NOT deal with companies or plan providers that require Foot Centric to claim back the cost of the treatment through them.

Do you offer a nail cutting only price?

In the world of podiatry/chiropody there is no such thing as a simple nail trim. Most of our patients seek us out for nail care services because their nails are thickened or have become a difficult shape to manage. Sometimes patients see a chiropodist because they can’t reach their feet any more or because they have a complex underlying medical condition.

Irrespective of the reason, we know from experience that this still requires the same level of expertise, knowledge and professionalism and takes the same amount of time, if not longer in some instances.

As health and medical practitioners we also often flag other medical issues during routine podiatry appointments, therefore, all of our nail care services fall under our normal podiatry treatment fee.

We will never compromise on the level of service and cleanliness we offer, this includes using a fresh set of sterile instruments on every client regardless of the complexity of their treatment, therefore, to maintain our standards we make no exceptions to our fairly priced fees.

What’s the difference between a chiropodist and a podiatrist?

This question crops up a lot. In short, they are both exactly the same, podiatrists and chiropodists are qualified to the same level. Podiatrist is a term that is widely used in America and has more recently been adopted in the UK. To use the title Chiropodist or Podiatrist, the clinician must be HCPC registered and hold a degree in podiatry or a diploma in chiropody.

Do new patients pay in advance?

Yes. New patient appointments are paid at the time of booking.

All new patient appointments are non-refundable once booked, regardless of notice or reason for cancellation.

We may allow one appointment change on a goodwill basis only if at least 48 hours’ notice is given, subject to availability within normal clinic hours.

Please note that any alternative appointment is not guaranteed. If a change is requested and no suitable alternative is available, or offered times are not suitable, the original booking remains non-refundable.

Availability is limited and appointments are often booked several months in advance.

We do not offer evening or weekend appointments.

What is your cancellation policy?

All appointments are non-refundable once booked.

If an appointment is cancelled or changed with less than 48 hours’ notice, the full fee remains payable.

One appointment change may be offered with at least 48 hours’ notice, subject to availability within normal clinic hours.

Where availability cannot be accommodated, this does not create eligibility for a refund.

Frequent cancellations or changes may result in discharge from the practice.

Do reasons for cancellation make a difference?

No. The reason for cancellation does not affect the policy.

This includes illness, childcare, work commitments, travel issues, weather conditions, or emergencies.

All appointments are treated under the same terms.

Can I cancel or change outside working hours?

No. Requests made outside working hours, including evenings and weekends, are not processed.

Emails sent outside working hours will be handled during normal clinic hours.

Can I book or attend without an appointment?

No. This is an appointment-only clinic.

We do not accept walk-in enquiries, in-person bookings, or appointment changes at the clinic.

All contact must be made during working hours via telephone or standard communication channels.

What happens if I arrive early?

We are unable to accommodate early arrivals.

The waiting area is not available before your allocated time and entry will only be granted at your appointment time.

Why is the clinic door locked?

The clinic operates without reception cover and the door remains locked at all times during treatment sessions.

Please do not push or force the door as this may cause damage.

Do you offer home visits?

No. We are a clinic-based service only and do not offer home visits.

Patients who are unable to attend the clinic will need to make their own arrangements.

What conditions do you treat?

We provide routine podiatry care only, focusing on common nail and skin conditions, including:

Corns and callus
Nail cutting and maintenance
Thickened or difficult-to-manage nails
Ingrown toenails
Verruca care and advice
Fungal nail advice and management
Athletes foot advice and management
Diabetic foot checks

What we do not treat

We do not provide biomechanical or musculoskeletal assessment or treatment. This includes:

Heel pain (including plantar fasciitis)
Arch, tendon, or joint-related foot pain
Arthritis-related foot pain
General foot, ankle, or leg pain where there is no nail or skin cause

These conditions require a musculoskeletal or biomechanical assessment, which is outside the scope of this service.

Important before booking

Appointments are strictly for routine podiatry concerns as listed above.

If you attend with a concern outside of this scope, I may not be able to assess or treat the issue. In these cases, the appointment time is still chargeable, as it has been reserved specifically for your care.

Where appropriate, you will be advised on the most suitable type of clinician or service to support your condition.

We are Recommended

Most of Foot Centric’s referrals come through recommendation. Our clients endorse our services because of the warm and professional reception they always receive at our cutting-edge clinic. Foot Centric wants to keep it this way, that’s why, as a team of progressive, forward thinking clinicians, we invest heavily in customer service, training and technology.

I had a full foot care treatment at Foot Centric. What can I say, I was very impressed from the minute I walked into the clinic. The podiatrist was very thorough and my feet felt amazing for ages after. One of the reasons this podiatry clinic appealed to me was their attention to hygiene and sterilisation. All their equipment was either single use or had been through the autoclave, which really made me feel like I was in good hands. The clinic itself is also beautiful. You can tell the owner takes a lot of pride in it’s presentation.

First-class treatments by some very talented practitioners. I actually recommended this clinic to my mum, who now attends regularly to have her hard skin, corns and nails treated. I knew she’d be well looked after at Foot Centric.

Foot Centric’s surroundings are comfortable and kept hygienically clean. The staff are both welcoming and friendly. The treatment itself was expertly performed in a professional manner, causing no pain. At all times I was kept informed about what the treatment involved, the reason for it and its benefits. I would highly recommend Foot Centric Podiatry/Chiropody.

Foot Centric is warm, welcoming, professional & immaculate. The podiatrists here are experts. Thank you so much for looking after my mum, I’d booked her in for a mother’s day treat. My mum said after the treatment that she felt like she was ‘walking on air’. I will highly recommend Foot Centric and the podiatrist we saw, Priya,. 5***** experience. Thank you

Very friendly and professional service from start to finish. I went in with a stubborn ingrown toenail that I’ve suffered on and off with for around 2 years now. Priya, the podiatrist I saw was very thoughtful and explained the treatment options available . I chose to have nail surgery. The service and procedure was of the highest standard and was right for me. I can’t recommend this place enough. Thanks again.

I’ve been having my callus and nails managed at Foot Centric since it opened. They always do a thorough job. The clinic is lovely, modern and airy. The clinicians are very knowledgeable, professional and caring. I always leave with happy feet.

I have attended this clinic for over a year now and have always received exceptional, professional service. I walk away feeling really pleased with my treatment. I’m always made to feel incredibly welcome and I can honestly say I look forward to my appointments. For the standard of service you receive the prices are very much value for money.

I have been using Foot Centric since it first opened. It is a lovely, clean, efficient and a very friendly clinic. The staff are great and make you feel at ease throughout your treatment and you can tell they actually really care. I suffer with dry cracked skin on my heels so I like to have regular podiatry appointments to keep on top of them. I also love having the warm wax treatment as it feels like a bit of indulgence and pampering at the same time as being extremely beneficial for my dry skin.
