The Podiatrist who comes to your front door
No waiting room. No parking. No getting your shoes back on in a corridor. I bring the whole clinic to your armchair in Northwood, Pinner, Watford and nearby — and I treat you on the very first visit.
I come to your home
Every appointment is at your front door. There is no clinic to get to, no waiting room, no parking, no getting your shoes back on in a corridor. You do not leave the house.
Book a home visit Until 8pmEvening appointments
Monday to Friday until 8pm — so a working son or daughter can be in the room when their mum or dad is treated, without taking a day off. Very few Podiatrists offer this at all. Evening slots carry a £10 surcharge for the out-of-hours time.
Book an evening visitNext-day appointments can be arranged. Ring before 2pm and I can usually see you tomorrow. Need it sooner? Same-day visits from £30 extra.
You stay where you are
I drive to your front door with the full clinic in the boot. No travelling, no waiting room, no parking.
Pay whichever way suits
Pay online when you book, or card or cash on the day. Entirely up to you — nothing is required up front.
A registered medical professional
Podiatry is a regulated healthcare profession. I hold a degree in podiatric medicine and am registered with the HCPC — the same statutory regulator as physiotherapists and paramedics. That means diabetic assessment, local anaesthetic and nail surgery, not just nail cutting.
How can I help your feet?
Not sure which one you need? That is my job, not yours. Book an initial consultation and we will work it out together — and I will treat it the same visit.
Initial consultation & foot assessment
Your first visit. I take a full history, examine your feet properly, and treat what I find on the day. You will not be asked to book again just to get the treatment you came for.
Foot health treatment
The everyday appointment most people come back for: toenails cut and tidied, corns removed, hard skin and callus reduced, cracked heels treated. One booking, whatever your feet need on the day.
Diabetic foot assessment & care
A thorough check of circulation and sensation, careful nail and skin care, and a written record you can show your GP or diabetes nurse. Regular monitoring is how small problems stay small.
Ingrown toenail treatment
Conservative treatment for a painful nail — the offending spike removed, the nail edge cleared and dressed. Most people walk comfortably again the same day.
Nail surgery
For a toenail that keeps coming back. A minor procedure under local anaesthetic at your home, with the phenol treatment that stops it regrowing. £395 all in — £50 at the consultation, the rest only if you go ahead. All follow-ups included.
I am already at your address. A second person in the same home is just £50 — so partners, parents and neighbours can be seen in the same visit.
What happens when you book
Letting a stranger into your home to treat your feet takes a bit of trust. Here is exactly what to expect, so there are no surprises.
You pick a time
Daytime or evening, Monday to Friday. Book online or ring me — whichever you prefer.
I arrive at your door
On time, with sterilised instruments, a portable chair and everything else. You need to prepare nothing.
Assessed and treated
I examine your feet properly, explain what I find in plain English, and treat it there and then.
Pay however suits
Card or cash on the day, or online beforehand. Nothing is required up front.
Why people choose a home visit
Getting to a clinic is the hard part
If walking hurts, the journey to have it treated is the worst part of the day. Sore feet and a bus route are a bad combination. I remove the journey entirely.
Family can actually be there
My evening appointments mean a working son or daughter can be in the room when their mum or dad is treated, without taking a day off. Very few Podiatrists offer that.
Your feet, seen in your own life
At home I can look at the slippers you actually wear and the stairs you actually climb. That tells me things a clinic room never would.
Vaishali Patel, Podiatrist
I am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, a member of the Royal College of Podiatry, and enhanced DBS checked. Those are not decorations — Podiatrist is a protected title, and a good many people offering foot care are not entitled to use it.
I set up Foot-Feet because the people whose feet need the most care are very often the people who find it hardest to travel. It seemed the wrong way round. So I go to them.
More about meWhere I come to
I cover north-west London and south Hertfordshire. I tend to group each area on a particular day, so if you are flexible I can often get to you sooner — but it is only ever a suggestion. Tell me the day that suits you and I will work around it. Tap a town to read more.
Also Ruislip, Eastcote, Ickenham, Hatch End, Croxley Green, Chorleywood, Bushey and South Oxhey. Somewhere else? Ring and ask — if I can get to you, I will.
Care homes, sheltered housing and residential schemes
I currently have capacity for new residential contracts, and I am actively taking them on across Northwood, Pinner, Watford, Rickmansworth and Harefield.
One visit, several residents, one invoice. A regular rota so nobody gets missed for eighteen months and then needs an emergency referral.
- Seen by an HCPC-registered Podiatrist, not an unregistered practitioner
- Individual written records for every resident — your CQC evidence, not just their feet
- Diabetic and vascular assessment included, with escalation to the GP where needed
- A regular rota agreed with you, at a frequency that suits your residents
- Evening and daytime slots, so we work around your meal and medication rounds
A tailored package, on request
Pricing depends on how many residents and how often — it is not the same as a single home visit, and it should not be. Tell me the numbers and I will put a proper proposal together.

Do you really come to my house?
Yes — that is the whole service. I do not have a clinic you travel to. I arrive at your door with sterilised instruments, a portable chair and everything else needed, and I treat you in your own front room. You do not need to prepare anything or go anywhere.
Do I have to pay when I book?
No. You can pay online when you book if that is easier, or you can pay by card or cash at the end of the appointment. Both are completely fine and the price is the same either way.
What is the difference between a Podiatrist and a foot health practitioner?
Podiatrist and chiropodist are protected titles — only someone registered with the Health and Care Professions Council can use them, which requires a degree. Foot health practitioner is not protected and requires no set qualification. I am HCPC registered and a member of the Royal College of Podiatry.
Is chiropody the same as podiatry?
Yes. They are two names for the same profession. Chiropodist is the older British word and Podiatrist is the modern international one. If you were looking for a chiropodist, you have found one.
Can you see me in the evening?
Yes. I work Monday to Friday, 9.30am to 2pm and 5pm to 8pm. There is a £10 surcharge on evening appointments, because they are outside normal working hours. The evening slots are popular with families who want to be there when I treat an elderly relative, and with people who work during the day.
Can you treat two of us in the same visit?
Yes, and it is much better value. Since I am already at the address, a second person in the same household is £50 rather than the full price. Couples, parents and neighbours all do this.
I have diabetes. Is it safe for you to cut my nails?
It is safer than doing it yourself, and safer than an unregistered practitioner. Diabetic feet need trained hands, sterile instruments and someone who will spot a problem early. I assess circulation and sensation as part of the appointment and keep a written record.
Why is there a £50 fee just to talk about nail surgery?
Because it is not just talking. I drive to you, examine the toe, check your circulation and your medication, and give you a proper clinical opinion on whether surgery is the right answer — which sometimes it is not. That is an assessment, and it takes the same time and skill as any other. If you go ahead, the £50 comes straight off the £395, so the total is still £395. If you decide against it, or I advise against it, you have had a registered Podiatrist assess your foot at home for £50 and you owe nothing further.
How often should I be seen?
Most people settle into a visit every six to eight weeks. If you have diabetes, poor circulation or nails that thicken quickly, it may be sooner. I will tell you honestly what I think you need — and if that is less often than you expected, I will say so.
Ready when you are
Daytime and evening appointments, Monday to Friday (evenings £10 extra). Most new patients are seen within the week.
