I have attended the Moorside Clinic for a long time and even though I have moved from the area to Salford Quays, I continue to choose the Moorside Clinic for my treatment. I find that I am met in a courteous manner, my treatment is always first class and I am given clear advice about how to ensure healthy feet in between visits. I highly recommend the Moorside Clinic.

Jessica Kenyon
ButtonPODIATRY
Originally from Blackburn, I graduated with my Podiatry BSc from Salford Univeristy in 2015 and began working privately. During 2020 I meet Nick when his family would come and visit our daily scenes with Ed and Ted aka The Moor Bears and subsequently joined The Moorside Clinic.
At the moment my spare time is taken up by muddling my way through parenthood and discovering that my young son will find a way to disrupt any attempt at watching my TV favourite, the classic murder mystery.

Our Testimonials
I recently had hip replacement surgery and prior to entering hospital I thought that it would be beneficial before my operation to have my toe nails cut and my feet treated by a professional. This was a great decisions, as following the surgery my feet felt really good and also as the toenails had been trimmed properly they were less likely to harbour dirt and therefore reduced the risk of infection. The Moorside Clinic was recommended to me by a friend and I would certainly have no hesitation in endorsing this recommendation further!
James Walker
Thanks to The Moorside Clinic for helping out with my son's verruca. At only 3 years old he wasn't looking forward to a trip to the foot doctors. But your friendly team and child friendly approach had him smiling as he left. I will be spreading the word. Great job.
