Patient Feedback
What Our Patients Say
Hundreds of patients have trusted Natalie with their care. Here is a selection of their experiences.
★★★★★
The staff are lovely and amazing. Can't recommend enough. Had nail surgery and no more pain after. Looked after the entire time. Natalie is really well knowledged. Got in for surgery quickly compared to an 18 week NHS appointment. Toe healed nicely.
Rhys
★★★★★
Had an ingrown toenail removed and it went so smoothly. They were very helpful and friendly throughout too, and made every effort to make sure I was comfortable. Can't recommend them enough.
Ben Kelly
★★★★★
Went to Natalie with a painful ingrown toenail which she sorted out immediately. Have been going regularly ever since to keep my feet in tip top condition. Highly recommend — they are courteous, efficient, and take great pride in giving an excellent service.
