I was very apprehensive about having my toenail removed after a previous experience, however as soon as I met the staff at the podiatry outpatients clinic at Ayrshire central I was much more relaxed.
The procedure was carried out with great organisation and patient care. I was talked through the procedure step by step and all my fears discussed. The worst part was the numbing injections then I felt nothing. Even afterwards the pain was manageable and the after care advice very precise.
On returning a few days later to have my dressing changed, I was made to feel welcome and relaxed again as everything was spoken about and I left knowing exactly what to expect in the next few weeks. Also being given a number to call with any concerns.
A special mention to James and Maureen who carried out the procedure with professionalism and kept me calm. Also to Moira who redressed my wound a few days later and talked through my questions with me. First class team!
