7/18/2020 Reassuring top level care for feet. Very pleased with the outcome. I had quite a bad ingrown nail that was painful to touch and I was really nervous due to a previously awful experience at another podiatrist, thankfully the team at step relief were marvellous. They managed to sort the nail without any surgery which was a relief. The team also understood my anxiety and made every effort to make me comfortable and relaxed. Thank you. Jillian Olarenshaw
