"Podiatry Dept - v helpful, informative and..."

My Son had a partial nail removal due to an infected ingrowing toe nail.

He was talked through the options of what could be done and advised about what would happen and what to expect.

On the day of the surgery he was told again what would be done, advised about pain relief afterwards and I was advised how to dress his toe following the surgery.

The surgery was very neat and thorough so there has been no recurrent problems and it has healed quickly and looks very neat.

Many thanks to the lady Podiatrist who was so helpful and kind, she took the time to make the information easier for my son to understand and that was very helpful in making him feel relaxed and calm about everything.

Also this lady does THE BEST TOE DRESSING I've ever seen!
