FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We take cash or card payments for clinic appointments.

Our clinic room is located on the ground floor but there is a small step to enter the building.

Unfortunately we are unable to provide home visits.

Nail surgery appointments are arranged by the Podiatrist once you have undergone a nail surgery assessment, to check your suitability for surgery. Please book online and select Routine Footcare – Initial Consultation and Treatment.

Yes if your provider will accept receipts to claim back the payment. We are not registered with any health insurers to invoice them directly. Please let us know prior to your appointment and we will print a receipt for you. You may also need my HCPC Registration number, which is as follows:

In order to provide you with the best possible treatment, and to comply with our regulatory body, we are required to take details of any medical conditions and current medications from patients. We therefore ask that you complete the online form that you are e-mailed when booking your appointment, to save time and give you chance to complete the form without rushing in your own time at home. If for any reason you are unable to complete the form online, such as not having access to a smart phone or computer, we are able to go through the form with you in clinic. Please ensure that you bring with you details of any medical conditions and a list of medications. Please be aware that if we complete the form in clinic this will mean that we have slightly less time to complete your treatment.

For routine footcare appointments you only need to bring yourself! Unless of course you need to complete the patient registration form in clinic, in that case please bring details of any medical conditions and medications with you. For nail surgery or verruca needling appointments, please bring footwear such as sliders, or flip flops to accommodate the large dressing. Please also bring any medication you might need such as inhalers. Please also bring somebody who can drive you home, as you will not be insured to drive due to the local anaesthesia.

Testimonials

"Absolutely brilliant service by Maxine. My mum who has dementia and Alzheimer’s had a major problem with her nails, Maxine replied to my email without delay and was at mum’s house the next day and sorted out her issues. Highly recommended and massive thanks to Maxine."

Chris Poole

"This was my first visit to a chiropodist so I was a little nervous but put at ease straight away by Katie who was friendly and professional. The Stray Podiatry building is clean and professional looking. I would highly recommend."

Matthew Greaves

"It was my first time visiting Stray Podiatry & Chiropody and a lovely experience- easy free parking right outside, a lovely large airy treatment room and fantastic service! A very thorough initial assessment, then great treatment and advice which fully addressed all my concerns. My feet now feel amazing - a huge thank you to Maxine, I will be back!"

Sara Hubbard

"On arrival the building looks modern and clean. I have been coming for a year know I see both practitioners. They have sorted My feet from having severe cracked bleeding heals to just very dry skin that needs treatment every 6-8 weeks. They give me lots of advice on the best way to treat my dry skin at home. I definitely recommend using them that’s why I make a 2 hour around trip to come over. Because I have not found such good professionals near me."
