"New shoes"

About: Altnagelvin Area Hospital / Podiatry Waterside Hospital / Podiatry

(as the patient),

First just a little background about me. Since middle age have had had various problems  with painful feet. Since 1991 I have had about 5 or 6 operations on each foot , I have had real problems getting footwear that was not painfull to wear even though I paid over £100 pounds per pair . I was referred  to podiatry  because of an ulcer on my foot . I started having  my feet "done". Wow what an experience, I was then asked would I wear especially made shoes . I then met the A team Katherine  and Danielle , they are wonderful . I now have shoes I can walk in ,in comfort Danielle  sees to them but I also see Katherine in podiatry  regularly.  I am just mentioning  their names but they are part of a fantastic  team of people . 

Please if you need and offered this service give it a try it really did change my life . I am truly grateful  for their kind attention whenever  I see them .
