We are experienced and highly skilled practitioners who treat adults and children for basic care or complex biomechanical needs.
Focus on: HEEL PAIN
Would you see your GP with toothache? No…..It makes sense to see us for heel pain, we are specialists in the area. The key is to diagnose the cause of the heel pain to ensure symptom relief quicker, otherwise you will only treat the symptoms. Do not delay, heel pain can take a lot longer to heal due to you walking on your feet all day, the sooner you see us the better the outcome.

HCPC and Society of Chiropodists & Podiatrists
We are registered with the Health Care Professions Council . This is a protected title used by medical professionals only. We continually update our medical knowledge by completing post graduate courses, and are regularly audited to ensure we meet registration requirements. Always check that your podiatrist is registered.
Health Care Providers
Most Health care providers such as Leeds Hospital fund, Simply Health to name a few, will cover the cost of your treatment dependent on your policy. Dee Smith is registered with BUPA but you will need a GP referral and a referral number before you attend your appointment.
We treat the cause of the problem, not only the symptoms. Be proactive and not inactive.
Life Saving Treatment
I was a new patient and happen to mention that I had a calf cramp the night before which was tender. Dee listened to my pulses with a Doppler and assessed my calf. Within 40 minutes I was in A & E as I had a Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) which if left untreated could have killed me! Dee Saved my life thank you.

Severe Foot pain caused by a leg length discrepancy
I cannot stress how brilliant the Foot & Lower limb Clinic is. I had been limping for 6 months, seen physiotherapists and a foot surgeon with not much improvement. As soon as I walked into the clinic, Dee Smith spotted the root cause of the problem, one leg considerably shorter than the other. After 3 treatments, I am no longer limping and can get on with my busy lifestyle. I was impressed by the equipment in the clinic, which enabled me to monitor my progress by seeing actual footage of my gait!

Very Nervous
Previous treatment from another podiatrist left me very nervous to have my ingrowing-toe nails treated and I don’t want nail surgery to remove them. The staff at the clinic have put me at ease and I no longer need regular treatment as the symptoms have subsided considerably.
