NEW PODIATRY CLINIC NOW OPEN IN HOLYWOOD

Claire Badger is the fully qualified Podiatrist at The Foot Doc. Claire has over six years of clinical experience in foot health and lower limb care, She graduated in 2019 and spent the first five years of her career working within the Northern Health & Social Care Trust. This time in the NHS provided her with extensive exposure to complex cases and high-risk foot conditions, giving her a solid foundation in medical-grade podiatry. Claire opened The Foot Doc earlier this month with a new clinic on High Street and also offering a mobile service!

Says Claire, “I established The Foot Doc to bring that same level of professional
rigour to a local, community-focused clinic. My goal is simple: to help people maintain their independence and live pain-free lives through expert care.
Every set of feet is unique. Whether you are visiting for a routine check-up or a complex injury, I ensure every treatment plan is evidence-based and fully personalised to your lifestyle. I take the time to listen to your concerns, diagnose the root cause, and explain your treatment options clearly.”

Whether you are managing the daily wear and tear of life or navigating a specific injury, the clinic’s philosophy centres on a patient-focused, tailored approach within a supportive and discreet environment. Their General Podiatry services address common but often painful issues such as nail cutting, ingrown toenails, hard skin, callus, and verruca removal. For patients suffering from more complex conditions like persistent heel pain, flat feet, or sports-related injuries, the clinic provides in-depth Biomechanical Assessments. These evaluations allow the podiatrist to diagnose the root cause of discomfort and implement long-term solutions that go beyond surface-level symptoms. The Foot Doc also provides a dedicated mobile service every Tuesday, offering house visits to patients across East Belfast, Dundonald, Holywood, and the surrounding areas.
Taking the first step toward better foot health is designed to be as seamless as possible. Patients can easily book an appointment by visiting the official website, emailing the clinic, or calling their Holywood office.
