What our patients think

Great, professional, and a delight
Yusra Alageli

The first thing you notice, is how lovely Zoe's clinic is. Very clean and modern. Zoe herself was great, professional, and a delight. She talked me through everything, she's up to date with all the latest treatments and advises what's appropriate for you. Very reasonably priced. Will definitely be going to Pod Chiropody again. Thank you Zoe

Put me completely at ease
Rachael Kennedy

Lovely premises & a warm welcome. Zoe talked through all the treatment options & costs openly to allow me to make a decision on which course I wanted to take. Put me completely at ease & explained what was happening at each stage, which was reassuring. Can't recommend highly enough, thank you!

Comfortable, fresh and modern
Velmont Media

Over recent months I have had excellent attention for fungal nail infection .... Zoe is very thorough in her approach and the results so far are definitely pleasing.

Received great advice

I had quite a few stubborn verrucae over both of my feet which I had tried all sorts of treatments over the years to cure. I also had a toenail that had become detached and infected when I first visited Zoe's practice. I received great advice from Zoe and along with use of the Swift Microwave treatment I am now clear of verrucae for the first time in many years. My toenail that I was expecting to lose has also fully recovered. Thank you so much for your help.

3 Months of not being able to walk on my left heel due to verucca.  Went for the Swift Microwave treatment and within 1 week I was pain free! Amazing! Very professional, free checkup 6 weeks after treatment where she tidied it all up... no 2nd treatment needed, no hard sell. Amazing service, highly recommended!

Absolutely Brilliant

First class
Karl Eyre

First class. Modern stylish relaxing premises possessing the latest chiropractic techniques and equipment. Welcoming and friendly hospitality. I suffered from a large painful verruca for nine years. Having tried nearly every treatment under the sun and at my wits end, I decided to explore Swift microwave treatment. I live in Nottingham and the nearest place for Swift microwave treatment was Pod Chiropody & Laser Clinic. I made an appointment for a consultation and was so impressed with Zoe Zavery and her practice I went ahead with the treatment. After only one treatment using Swift microwave my verruca has now gone. I would highly recommend this treatment for anyone with a verruca. There is no pain or inconvenience immediately after the treatment. Thank you, Zoe.
