Services
There is a bus stop on Merchants Road which is almost directly opposite the entrance to Charles Place. Bus stop ID: bstdada. 505 Bristol Community Transport heading to Long Ashton from the direction of Southmead/Redland/Clifton. We have patient parking on our forecourt at the clinic, however although it appears wide enough for two cars, it only really fits one car to give those less mobile enough space to get in and out of their car.
Find out more about Naomi Green, owner and Podiatrist, and Sarah Gillies associate Podiatrist. When we walk or run our feet need to absorb the shock of hitting the ground but they must also be stable to support us as our body weight moves over the foot during each step. Good foot function depends on how the foot interacts with the ground and how it is positioned relative to the leg and body.
At Footworks we provide a range of treatments for verrucae including cryotherapy which is using liquid nitrogen. Other treatments include acid treatments and verruca needling. Toenail surgery is a procedure performed under local anaesthetic meaning there is very little discomfort. In the case of an ingrowing toenail, a small section is removed from the side of the toenail under local anaesthetic.

I really appreciated the voicemail and email to check up on how I was after the procedure. I feel well cared for.
The receptionist was friendly and helpful and all the staff seem to remember their clients and are friendly.
Ruth was also very good at explaining the procedure as well as the science behind my condition which I really appreciated.

Delighted with the service from Ruth and the reception team. I've just started returning to training at the climbing wall after a two month layoff following surgery for an involuted toenail. From start to finish the information and communication was first class, and Ruths excellent people skills helped allayed any apprehensiveness about the procedure. I thoroughly recommend this practise.

I went for a gait analysis. The analysis is thorough and this is the main thing i was hoping for. These issues are complicated to understand. Prior to footworks i had not received a satisfactory diagnosis elsewhere so it was welcome to receive a detailed analysis from footworks. Footworks report was technical in nature and being picky i would have preferred having things explained additionally at a laypersons level of understanding. A follow up call or offer to come back into the clinic to discuss would also have been welcome for someone like me that wants to understand the underlying problem,

I've needed a lifetime of help from custom orthotics, and this is the best of the best expertise internationally I've come across. From a customer care perspective, five stars. From a specialised knowledge perspective, five stars. From a use of cutting edge equipment amd methodology perspective, six stars. From a dedication and passion perspective, five stars. For great results at a reasonable price, five stars. If you have knee, ankle, hip or other pain getting around, it might be time to do something about it, and this is the place to visit.

I couldn't recommend more! I've had an amazing treatment today! I booked an appointment for one painful callus but I miss Ruth Giffney treated my feet overall from some past ones too. She was really friendly and really good in her job. She also sent me a program for my ankle rehab although this was not the reason of my appointment. I appreciated this gesture that shows genuine interest so much! Thank you! I will be definitely coming back for any future issues :)

Made an appointment for 9am Monday morning, which was cancelled on the morning of the appointment by email, which I only read while already on the way there. No effort to make amends or apology for the inconvenience. Pretty disappointing all round. I realise that sometimes appointments may have to be cancelled but to do it like this isn't really acceptable.
I booked at another Bristol podiatrist who were able to offer me an appointment the next day so I can't review the actual treatment that Footworks offer.

Made an appointment to see Toria tonight suffering with a very sore toe. I had my first treatment and I’m so much more comfortable. Toria was amazing and explained what the problem was and how she could treat it. I would definitely recommend Footworks and will be following her advice to prevent further problems. Thank you Having had my 4th… appointment with Toria yesterday I wanted to give an update that she is simply amazing. I now only need to come when I feel my feet need some attention as I suffer with very dry skin and a corn on one toe. Toria is such a lovely lady who makes my

My recent experience with Footworks is excellent. I had 3visits to remove a verruca and I had the pleasure and opportunity to be treated by Toria who is fantastic! She talked me through and I have been explained clearly and though roughly my options, my treatment before and after the needling every step of the way. I had no issues with the recovery and I can say I am very happy to be using my both feet again and pain free! Toria is absolutely brilliant and I would happily recommend her and the clinic to everyone in need.

Ruth carried out a operation to correct ingrowing toenails on both feet for my 10 year old son. She was fantastic before, during and after the operation, keeping my son fully aware of what would be done and talking to him all the way through. The follow up care has been excellent and I have a happy boy who can run around with no pain for the first time in ages. I would definitely recommend Footworks Bristol going forward.

I could not have felt happier with the level of care and information I received from this clinic. I was seen by Naomi Green and following her diagnosis I was sent to the hospital for further treatment. My GP notably remarked upon how impressed she had been by the detailed referral letter which she received from Naomi. I would highly recommend Footworks and thanks to them I am still in heels!

First visited Footworks in March this year for a general check up of my feet as I had started to do a lot of running. Naomi treated a blister on my foot and checked the overall state of my feet. She was very professional, friendly and helpful with advice. I have been since and again by Rose this time. Really nice and so helpful. I absolutely recommend this place.

I am a keen runner and my feet are less than desirable. Bruised thickened toe nails etc. I have never visited a podiatrist before but am pleased I did. The clinic is bright and the staff friendly and professional. The treatment was successful and I was given advice to help me keep my feet happy and pain free. I would highly recommend.
