Testimonials
A really great local Podiatry service for anyone with foot problems, friendly professional staff who provide up-to-date information, advice and guidance on a range of foot care and foot care products. My toenail fungus has completely cleared and my toenails look as good as new. Really can't thank you enough as I thought that I was going to be stuck with fungus-infected nails for life! Would definitely recommend this service.

Dear Valerie, Just to say that it was a pleasure to meet you and to thank you for all of the time and advice that you gave, to help me manage the corns and decide my future course of action (if they do not "settle down"). They are very comfortable at the moment, more than they have been for many weeks, which is wonderful! I hope that I did not make you late for your next appointment ......

I've been twice now to the foot clinic; first time for a corn removal and second time to have a toe support made. Super service on both occasions. Podiatrist explains precisely what is going on as well as how long the result should last. A tad more pricey than other podiatrists, but well worth the few pounds extra.

After 10 years or more of suffering with both my feet having hard painful lumps on the soles which made it incredibly painful to walk barefoot without thick inner soles, inside comfy shoes and my GP telling me I had verrucas, I visited Valerie at St Johns Foot Clinic in Woking and she diagnosed several Corns all over the soles of my feet. There and then she cut them out and it’s the best feeling ever to be able to walk bear foot on hard surfaces without pain or discomfort. Visiting st Johns foot clinic was the best thing I’ve done all year. I only wish I had known about them sooner. Valerie was very informative about everything, professional, polite and courteous. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend St Johns Foot Clinic to anyone. 10 out of 10.

Regarding verruca needling treatment: A new year and a new foot! Unrecognisable from when we started so thank you very much! Am absolutely delighted and relieved to have got this sorted after six years!
Mr. C, January 2018
I had my verruca for 13 years and thought it was beyond help. You guys sorted it out. I reccomend you to others and can't fault either of you at all.

I approached the St. John's Foot Clinic to have treatment for an insistent verruca. I was treated by Valerie whom I found to be very friendly, welcoming and yet extremely professional. She explained very clearly what the problem was and how to treat it. The verruca was gone in two weeks and all the symptoms were exactly as described. I would not hesitate recommending the St. John's Foot Clinic to anyone with any aspects of footcare.

Regarding verruca treatment "... IT WORKED ..."
Mr. J, November 2016
My ingrowing toenail was treated in June and I was very impressed with the care and expertise with which it was done. The procedure was fully explained to me and I felt no pain at all as it was carried out. The level of after care that I received was excellent. I am so glad that I decided to have this done - I only wish I had had it treated sooner!
Mrs. F, July 2016
Went to this new clinic yesterday as I am due for a full knee replacement op next week and was told to get my feet and teeth checked out professionally (don't ask me, I don't know why - I just do as told) and my feet were, I thought, in excellent condition. Well, 45 minutes of tender care later and I walked out of the clinic as if on a carpet of feathers. They cleared out some tags in the corners of my big-toe nails which I could not do, removed some hard skin and bits (don't ask), cleaned out my nails and then and cut my nails (I can do that but hey, dogs and barking etc?), and gave my feet a massage whilst applying some antiseptic cream after the work done. Heaven! Really, I am sold on this Podiatry stuff. Walked the dog in the afternoon and no little jars of pain in the toes... OK, it costs, but it is SO worth it!
