Welcome you to Dorchester Foot Clinic Ltd, located in the heart of Dorchester. We are a well-established Podiatry clinic offering the latest in foot health care and surgical procedures. We are proud to say that we have established ourselves as a reputable clinic. Gillian is our experienced Podiatrist offering appointments Monday through Friday. Our receptionist is here to answer any questions you may have about our services and to book a convenient appointment for you.
A podiatrist is a health professional, trained and educated to assess, diagnose and treat problems of the foot and lower limb. Podiatrists can advise on foot care, health education, gait analysis, and footwear advice and come up with therapeutic care plans that are designed to maximise mobility and the patient’s level of activity.
There is no huge difference between a chiropodist and a podiatrist although not all chiropodists are qualified to perform surgeries under anaesthesia or supply anti-biotics. (To check your Podiatrists qualifications and additional atonements, the HCPC register is free and public for everyone to use).
Both chiropodist and podiatrist are protected titles and can only be used by people registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). The HCPC regulates the chiropody and podiatry profession and ensures that all of its members meet their standards for training, professional skills, behaviour and health.
Due to high demand, our podiatry clinic has a limited number of new patient appointments.
We are pleased to offer an alternative: our skilled apprentice has several appointments available for the treatment of ingrowing toenails, corns, and callus removal at a discounted rate.
We appreciate your understanding as we strive to accommodate all our patients.
