Not Our Words!
This is a direct quote from a patient of ours, Nicola, who has left a fantastic review. We’ll attract the full transcript below:
“Fantastic experience at Doncaster Foot Clinic. I highly recommend Katy, I have never been anywhere to have my feet looked at, but I had two horrible looking toenails, which I was embarrassed about and they hurt a little. I wanted to find out what it was. After a test for a fungal infection, which I was convinced it was, the test was negative. That was good news. It was so worthwhile having a test. Katy then carefully cut away as much of the nails as she could, they look better already and feel better! She also checked my feet over, I had a small MOT with minor treatments to remedy as few small issues too. Katy gave recommendations for care and prevention for my big toe nails. I feel so pleased I chose Doncaster Foot Clinic, it was like therapy for the feet. Don’t bother with the doctors for your feet, go to the experts.”
The System, The Reality…
We want to firstly clarify that we back the NHS & all they do! They’re true miracle workers, in increasingly tough conditions. But ultimately they are overstretched and underfunded. Sadly, services like Podiatry fall by the wayside. The aim is to see you ‘within 18 weeks’ – but that’s just the target they set. This means that, best case scenario, you’ll be seen within around four months. There is however a zero tolerance policy for waits that exceed
SIXTY FIVE weeks. Thats just shy of fifteen months.
Due to how stretched the service is, it’s only natural that those with the greatest risk of potential limb loss get seen first. And that’s how it should be for a service that has limited time on their hands. But that doesn’t make it any easier, for patients like Nicola & others, who are in pain now. It’s not life threatening, and they can still crack on with their day – but it’s pain nonetheless.
