Merriefield Podiatry opened their Foot Clinic in 2015 in Ferndown and also serves the surrounding area including Wimborne and Bournemouth. We have a reputation for patient centred care and excellent treatment standards. All of our Podiatrists are HCPC Registered and are Members of the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists.
People of all ages and walks of life attend foot clinics for treatment. Many live with constant pain, when a simple procedure or adjustment with foot wear can often relieve the symptoms.
