Health First
The safety of our patients is our number one priority, and we now have possibly the safest clinical treatment room for you in the region. For anyone requiring treatment during the pandemic, we will telephone triage you first and then discuss available options following College of Podiatry & National guidelines.

You do not need a referral, so call us on 01926 811272. Painful feet or heels, ulcers, infections, toenail problems, verrucae or corns - whatever the problem we'll get your feet back to health. It was nice to be greeted by pleasant and friendly reception/admin staff. Johnathan (the podiatrist) was very professional and he was very willing to share his knowledge.

I am a former NHS Senior Chiropodist - Podiatrist, working to cure your family foot problems. I qualified from Cardiff School of Chiropody in 1990 having won the Prize for Practical Chiropody. I worked in Banbury and then in South Warwickshire, specialising in Diabetic Foot Care.

I was a member of the Gait and Movement Analysis Team at Royal Leamington Spa Rehabilitation Hospital and subsequently became a Consultant Podiatrist for Worcestershire NHS.The day-to-day running of the practice falls to Kate who joined the team at Health First in 2015 having previously worked in the travel industry.
In our experience, Dr. Comfort footwear provides fantastic quality and comfort especially for those with any form of foot deformity. Within the Dr Comfort range you'll find diabetic shoes, comfortable trainers, and wide fit smarter footwear! You're bound to find the perfect fit for day-long comfort whilst on the go.
There is a satellite clinic in Alcester, Warwickshire for existing and new patients from the Stratford, Bidford, Evesham and Alcester areas. It is based at Theorem Health & Wellness @ The Greig Lifestyles. Due to the length of experience and extent of training of the podiatrists at Health First, we are able to assess and diagnose all but the rarest foot-related pathologies, the vast majority of which are treatable by us.

I read Jonathan's recent article about feet in the Southam Advertiser and as I had a problem with a toe nail I made an appointment. I'd been to Jonathan before some years ago with a different foot problem and Jonathan had treated that successfully so I had no hesitation in contacting him again. My toe required minor surgery and I am not good with needles! Jonathan explained the procedure and was very kind and patient on the day of surgery. The toe is healing well and I have been very impressed. Jonathan provided all that I needed for daily dressings and explained what I needed to do. I like to

Thank you for your wonderful service…I have been in pain for a long time, unable to walk at times, not able to wear certain shoes and this has affected my whole life…within an hour of my appointment I began to feel the relief and effects of your treatment…14 days later I feel as though I have a new pair of feet! Thank you, amazing feeling!

We were really impressed with the professional treatment by Jonathan Small of my husband's feet, which were in a really bad state after a serious operation for aneurysms. He came for a home visit soon after I had first contacted his Foot & Gait clinic, and also gave us some useful information and advice. We are very grateful and would recommend this podiatry clinic any time.

I admire Jonathans determination & drive to help his patients resolve any issues they may have & hope to follow in his footsteps once I graduate from university.
Thanks again for the opportunity your useful and excellent advice will always remain with me.

Referred by my usual Chiropodist to Johnathan as she was hesitant of doing surgery on my ingrown toe nail, as I am on medication following a kidney transplant and heart attack. So off I trotted to Southam, circa 15 mins from Leamington. Found it straight away car park and pub ;-) right on the corner !
Nice chap , 30 years experience, didn't feel a thing.
Beg or borrow the money, you will be pleased you did my friends. Highly recommend.

I suffered from a persistent problem on both feet. Jonathan was very thorough not only with the diagnosis but also with the treatment. His attention to detail resulted in a permanent solution. My feet have never felt better and I feel like a new man! Thank you.

I have recently had my first appointment with Jonathan the Podiatrist at Health First Foot and Gait Clinic.
His Clinic has a warm and inviting atmosphere and he has worked hard to make it Covid safe.
I found him thorough and the investigations and treatment plan for my foot problem were impressive. He was easy to talk to being both informative and friendly. I would highly recommend him.

Following my appointment today I would highly recommend Health First. A detailed history of my symptoms was taken, followed by a thorough foot examination and gait analysis. The advice and explanation I received was first class and also included a medical referral for further investigation into my foot pain.
I was also impressed that Jonathan actually asked me to let him know the outcome of my condition, even though no further appointments with Health First are indicated. My only regret is I should have made an appointment sooner.

Mr Small has assessed, advised and treated my feet for some considerable time keeping me going. He recommended and fitted specialised soles when work was challenging for my feet. He has advised me on walking boots which are a joy for walking. He has maintained his practise during these challenging times, making the appointment safe and hygienic but still showing his professionalism and care. I would highly recommend his clinic.

Very professional and friendly service, perfectly suited to my need. Highly recommended.
Before consulting I was in bad pain from plantar fascitis/fasciosis which seemed to come out of the blue and got worse and worse, with no end in sight. However after only a few consultations I was out of acute pain and gradually moving onto stretching and strengthening exercises, with a realistic plan to get back into running!
Thank you Jonathan.
