I was referred here as part of a diabetes health care plan as the condition can effect nerve endings in the feet. The service is amazing! The receptionist was lovely and welcomed me. I didn't have to wait, and, the young podiatrist who I saw was friendly, thorough and explained everything he was doing to me, as well as conditions with feet which can occur with diabetes. He then clipped and filed my toenails which were long and too hard for me to clip, and filed them. Exemplary service! I felt ashamed at the length of my toenails but the podiatrist made me feel comfortable. I have now decided I

I was disappointed with my visit I didn't feel any better after I left and am still in pain with my feet as I cannot afford to see anyone else at the moment. I let them know my concerns and I am still waiting for them to call me back to discuss very disappointing so I am still on the look out for a good podiatrist.

As an amateur triathlete I visited Ben Trewben of Stepahead Podiatry as I was experiencing tightness in one of my calf muscles. Rather than just jump straight into it Ben asked about training volume, running volume, types of run sessions and my shoe choice. From there he looked closer at the calf and we decided that dry needling could be beneficial. The results for me proved to be substantial, I am now not experiencing any pain or tightness in the muscle.
Ben took the time to work through the issue with me, I didn't feel pressured to get "in and out" as you do at some clinics. A true professional

I am about to walk the Camino in Spain and I visited Step Ahead for advice, what i got was above that expectation. They even made me bend over and he put his hands on my lower back and wow I was able to bend down fully. He recommended shoes that have been a dream to walk in when I practice and he has made himself available for a few questions during a phone call followup that I just sprung on him. Since then I have referred him to a few friends and they speak so highly of his work
