The Foot Doctor in short
The Foot Doctor is a heel pain and podiatry clinic at Sigma House in Hadley, run by Steven Dowdeswell, who is named as an HCPC-registered podiatrist with his registration number, a podiatric medicine degree and an entitlement to dispense prescription-only medicines [1] [2]. The clinic treats heel pain and sports injuries with shockwave therapy and custom orthotics, and offers online booking alongside phone contact [1] [3].
Customers rate The Foot Doctor strongly, with 4.8 out of 5 on Google, the only review source we hold [4]. Our judgement is that it suits anyone wanting heel pain, sports injury or orthotics care from a named registered clinician. What counts against it is paperwork: no treatment prices, no insurance detail and no checkable company record [1] [3].
The service picture is specialist rather than general: heel pain and sports injuries treated with shockwave therapy and custom orthotics, set out on the clinic site [1]. The clinic sits at Sigma House on Hadley Park East with phone contact and online booking side by side [1] [3]. The service area on record is Telford. No treatment prices appear anywhere, so the written quote is the only price picture you will see.
The customer evidence we hold is Google alone, where the clinic holds 4.8 out of 5 across eighty reviews [4]. That is a strong score on a solid count, though both sit below the Donnington leader in this round. Our judgement is that the reviews support the second place. No second platform was reachable, so read a spread of the reviews themselves before deciding.
Our verdict
Our judgement: The Foot Doctor suits you if you want heel pain, sports injury or orthotics care from a named HCPC-registered podiatrist at a Hadley clinic [2] [3]. The site documents the clinician's qualifications and registration number [2]. What counts against it is paperwork: no prices, no insurance details and no checkable company record [1] [3].

Questions about The Foot Doctor
Is The Foot Doctor any good?
On the evidence, yes for heel pain, sports injuries and orthotics: it ranks second of three Telford podiatrists, holds 4.8 out of 5 on Google, and names its HCPC-registered clinician with his number. The gaps are prices and insurance detail. Evening or follow-up needs are worth raising early, since shockwave and orthotics price apart from routine care. Agree both in writing first.
Is Steven Dowdeswell HCPC registered?
The clinic site names Steven Dowdeswell as an HCPC-registered podiatrist with registration number CH20260, a podiatric medicine degree and an entitlement to dispense prescription-only medicines [2]. The about page sets all of that out in one place. Ask for the number again when you call. Then check it yourself on the HCPC register.
What does The Foot Doctor charge?
No treatment prices, call-out fee or VAT position is published [1]. Shockwave courses and custom orthotics are typically priced apart from routine care. Shockwave and orthotics usually bill per session and per device, so ask for each line separately. Ask for an itemised quote naming each visit and device, plus a shockwave session cost. Confirm the total before treatment starts.
Where does The Foot Doctor work?
From its clinic at Sigma House on Hadley Park East in Hadley, with online booking alongside phone contact [1] [3]. The service area is Telford. Send your postcode with the enquiry and bring your symptom history. Ask about parking and step-free access when you book. Ask whether your problem needs a clinic visit.
How is The Foot Doctor ranked?
Second of the three podiatrists in our September round, picked for heel pain and orthotics care. It sits between the Donnington leader and the Wellington firm in third, ahead on named registration detail and online booking. Firms appear in score order. Read the full review above, compare it with the Donnington leader, and book only after the price is agreed in writing.
How do I get a quote from The Foot Doctor?
Use the online booking route or phone with your symptom history and whether you need heel, sports or orthotics care [1] [3]. Ask for each visit and device as its own line, plus a shockwave session cost where relevant. Confirm the total in writing before treatment starts, and keep the quote beside the receipt.
What do customers say about The Foot Doctor?
Google shows 4.8 out of 5 across eighty reviews, a strong score on a solid count though below the round leader [4]. That single source is all we hold, so read a spread of the reviews themselves. Customers describe heel and sports-injury care from the named clinician. Bring any unanswered questions to your first call.
