I visited the clinic on 14 Aug for an initial consultation with Sahab. She was an excellent healthcase provider. She spoke me through her initial diagnosis of my toe nails, treatment options, costs, and gave me her recommendation. She also very kindly spoke me through how she has worked with an insurance provider previously to cover costs. I was also feeling quite scared about the option of nail surgery and what comes with this, but she reassured me and spoke me through the risks and my options and I felt much better. I would highly recommend coming here.
It was all good except checking in for my appointment. We arrived half hour earlier than my appointment. We told the receptionist and she advices us to sit in the reception area. When it was time for our appointment she said my name is not on the list. We showed all the email that I have received with the name of the provider but she was not convinced. Finally she called upstairs and found out that I do have an appointment but was not on the receptionist’s list. She should have told us when we first arrived rather than wait till our appointment time.
I had both toenails removed because of fungus and have been having low level laser therapy sessions to promote nail growth. Everything has been going wonderfully, the surgery itself was quick and painless. The aftercare has been great and I can see nail growth already. The staff are all so friendly and knowledgable. I would definitely recommend this clinic!
I highly recommend this clinic! The whole team is professional, friendly, and always makes you feel welcome. They take the time to explain the treatment, answer any questions, and ensure you’re comfortable throughout the process. The clinic is well-organised, and I’ve had a great experience from start to finish. Thank you for your excellent care!
My foot health practitioner, Lilly, is a consummate professional - very thorough and proficient, she delivered my treatment with superlative empathetic care, for which I was grateful, especially with the application of SWIFT microwave treatment, which is unavoidably intensely painful . . . but very effective. Lilly provided useful advice and excellent practical tips for managing the verruca infection and I've had excellent results - it's completely healed!
Marion and team are really knowledgable and professional, highly recommend.
I am very happy with the consultation and treatment recieved. Options were clearly set out for me and a treatment plan set out. The staff are extremely professional and provide all the necessary advice, and are willing to answer all and any questions during the visit and by email. Happy to recommend.
I visited the clinic for lunar laser treatment. The clinicians were super informative of the options I had, they took their time to explain everything in great detail and really made me feel at ease. At every appointment they were really professional and always friendly and attentive. I felt very comfortable and satisfied with the service provided.
I recently had a toenail removal here, and the service was exceptional. Marion and her colleagues are highly professional and take the time to provide clear explanations of the procedures. I was made to feel comfortable and at ease the entire time. The clinic is efficient, helpful, and handles everything smoothly in one place. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
Marion Yau is a highly experienced nail surgeon that has made the field of nail disorders fun and engaging. She has an energy to relax and ease nervous patients from all walks of life.
