IN FALKIRK AND BO’NESS
Complete foot care by our team of foot specialists
The practice consists of an experienced team of highly skilled clinicians who have an excellent reputation for providing quality care and a professional service.
All clinicians are members of The Royal College of Chiropodists and Podiatrists and The Health and Care Professions Council. Due to the ever increasing scope of our profession, we have frequent in house training, attend courses and conferences on a regular basis to extend our knowledge and learn new skills for the benefit of our patients.
We also work together with our community raising donations for local groups and hospices, our most recent being Trussel Trust Foodbank, Strathcarron Hospice, Maggie’s Centre Forth Valley and CHAS.
