Over 95% of my new patients are recommended by word of mouth, either from happy clients or other health care professionals. I believe that recommendation is still the best way of finding a new Podiatrist/Chiropodist .
I am very proud of my excellent local reputation, which I have built up over the last 25 years. The ground floor clinic in peaceful surroundings also offers off street parking and a 30 years experienced Osteopath and Homeopath. I offer the latest and most effective treatments at affordable prices, with up to date and fully sterilised equipment.
I have in depth experience in treating everything from simple corns and fungal nails right through to more complex sports injuries and foot pains. I will sympathetically listen to your foot ‘issues’ and deliver a safe and as pain free solution as possible, to get you comfortably walking again. I will also advise you on the best way forward for you to self-manage your feet where appropriate.
I have worked hard to establish referral pathways with local practitioners; from orthopaedic surgeons to GP's, physios and osteopaths; to help you access the best and most holistic care possible.
My passion for extending my knowledge base is evident in my 30 hours of extra training every year. 3 yearly local Anaesthetics training, yearly basic life support as well as attending specialist podiatry conferences. I have just completed a 3 month work placement with The Abbey Clinic at the National Sports Centre in Bisham Abbey. I have been working alongside physios in a multidisciplinary team (2020) treating many young athletes.

What my clients say ...
I was experiencing knee joint and back pain and went to see Margaret to check if my walking position was faulty. She was amazing and extremely thorough. Margaret was very easy to talk to (in fact an absolute pleasure) and I felt very comfortable throughout. She was both caring and very professional.
