What clients say about Sevenoaks Podiatry
You asked me to let you know how I am progressing with the arch supports you fitted for me two months ago.
The background to this was that I had used custom made arch supports for many years, but over a long period walking was becoming difficult, with pain in both feet and ankles. I put this down to arthritis so did not expect a new prescription to make much difference.
The result has gone beyond anything I could have hoped for: I am walking without discomfort, and as a bonus have noticed an improvement in my knees and lower back.
Just a note to say thank you for supplying me the new orthotics which immediately provided a noticeable improvement. Before visiting your clinic I suffered pain in my left knee, requiring a knee support, and some pain in my left ankle, which made it quite difficult to walk any distance.
Since you supplied the new orthotics which has now enabled me to walk comfortably and without a knee support. I was very impressed with the professionalism and friendly attitude I received from your practice, from the initial consultation through the process of accessing my needs, designing, supplying the orthotics and the follow up appointment. I just want to express my gratitude and appreciation of the quality of service provided.
After suffering with Plantar Fasciitis for some time I decided I needed to do something about it as the pain was crippling.
I visited the clinic and the Podiatrist Toby, who suggested made-to-measure orthotic insoles, as the problem was so acute and stretching exercises were not helping.
Now the pain has completely gone, no more hobbling about in agony.
I had suffered with verrucas for over 10 years and tried countless treatments at home but none were successful. I was at my wits end when the verrucas not only resisted all treatment but in fact started to spread.
At Sevenoaks Podiatry I was offered the best course of treatment which was provided both with good humour, empathy and professionalism.
The Practice is efficient and always welcoming, providing a personal service but with professional expertise. Ironically I now miss my regular visits, but not the verrucas! Highly recommended.
I would just like to say how grateful I am for what Melanie Godfrey has been able to do for me over the past 4 weeks. I had almost lost hope and now I am well on the way to a full recovery.
I have had a foot/ankle problem which goes back 12 months and nobody could tell me what the problem was. I was on prescription painkillers and anti-inflammatories.
On the very first meeting Melanie quickly assessed the problem as ‘compensating gait’ and 2 days later designed an orthotic to go in my trainers. I also wear a simple ankle brace Melanie suggested. As soon as I started to wear the orthotic and ankle brace I could walk again. My life has been completely changed and I cannot speak highly enough about what Melanie has done for me.
I have osteoarthritis in both knees and my left leg became progressively different from my right leg, causing a limp. Melanie’s approach to achieve a solution was systematic and her diagnosis and design of insoles she developed were right first time.
I appreciate Melanie’s high level of professionalism and I can give her my best recommendation.
I am delighted that the orthotic you fitted into my running shoe is doing very well. No re-occurring pain in my left foot.
Thank you so much – one very happy customer!
My new orthotics are working well. It took a couple of days before my feet settled down, but I can now walk with virtually no pain.
A success, thanks very much!
My Achilles tendon was on the verge of rupture and I was wearing a boot to protect it. I saw Toby and he gave me exercises, a list of trainers I could wear and some custom made insoles.
The pain has stopped and my life has been transformed – I feel better than I have done for years! No boot or crutches for me…
I saw Mel and she diagnosed flat feet and provided me with insoles. Thanks to her, my knee pain is resolved so very many thanks!
