Routine foot examinations
Regular foot examinations are crucial for detecting early signs of potential issues. During these exams, we assess your foot health, inspect your skin and nails, evaluate your gait, and address any concerns or symptoms you may have.
Nail care
Proper nail care is essential for maintaining healthy feet. We trim and file your nails to prevent ingrown nails, reduce thickened or deformed nails and offer treatments for fungal nail infections. We can also provide guidance on nail hygiene.
