TOENAIL CARE

Professional toenail cutting and toenail care

Do you find it tricky to cut your own toenails?

Maybe it’s awkward to find a position where you can reach your toenails, see what you’re doing and cut them safely.

Perhaps your toenails are thickened and difficult to cut. Or maybe you don’t have the best tools for the job.

You could risk cutting the nail too short, cutting the wrong part of the nail, or ripping the edge of the nail. In some cases, this can leave you open to injury and infection.

Our foot care specialists will help to cut and care for your toenails to ensure they’re healthy and in good condition.

 

What to expect from your toenail cutting and care appointment

Your foot care specialist will give you a soothing foot bath and assess the length of your toenails.

What it’s like to be a patient at Hatt Clinic

Dyanne is a very pleasant lady, she explained what needed to be done and carried out the tasks in a professional way. I left the clinic with very comfortable feet !

This was my first visit to Mel who I found to be very professional but also put me at ease. She diagnosed the issue and suggested a course of treatment and advised me re my footwear. It was all very efficient and the clinic is very modern and super clean. I am coming back for treatment and confident that I am in a safe pair of hands
Susan Lloyd
My consultation and treatment went very well indeed. Jose’ is a highly skilled professional who took great interest in my concerns, prioritizing the outcomes I was was seeking. The treatment, which will probably take several months to complete, was really helpful and transformative even at this early stage. I have used the Hatt Movement and Heath Clinic before for other injuries, and always found the staff and clinical team to be excellent in every respect. Jose’ was no exception.

First Podiatry appointment with Clementina and the service was excellent. Everything was explained to me during the appointment. I felt at ease and treatment was very gentle and relaxing. I was given advice on creams to use at home. Treatment room very clean and comfortable. Look forward to next appointment. Thank you.
