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. Agree both in writing first.
