Manoj Mistry2025-09-09My daughter had been complaining about a pain on the inside of her foot on and off for under a year. After seeing her in constant distress I searched for a local podiatrist and was fortunate to read great reviews about Jonathan Stanley who's located within a mile of my home. Upon first meeting him, he immediately put us at ease with light hearted humour. Within a minute of walking through his door and explaining her problem to him, he was instantly reassuring us that he knows exactly what the issue is and that he can treat her to free her of pain. After many months of seeing her struggle, this was music to our ears. He then continued by examining her whilst explaining the root cause. He kept our attention throughout whilst explaining the connection of the pain through her leg, hips and shoulders. His explanation was so clear that my young daughter fully understood everything he explained. The result was having bespoke insoles made for her shoes to correct her posture, to allow the tendon in her foot to heal. Upon returning to him for a review six weeks after she had been wearing her insoles, the improvement was amazing. The pain had reduced significantly and her hips had become aligned. Overall, we had an brilliant experience. Jonathan's enthusiasm and specialist knowledge is second to none.
Jayne Foster2025-08-15I cannot recommend Jonathan highly enough! His knowledge, experience and understanding is second to none! As well as being a thoroughly ‘nice guy’, I instantly had confidence and trust in him to fix my problem. Having suffered with pain in the tops of my feet for some months, significantly affecting my movement, and worrying it was arthritis (I have had 2 hip replacements due to arthritic hips), I booked an appointment with Jonathan. He had diagnosed me within minutes and, just a few weeks later, with orthotics prescribed, my pain has almost gone. It was the mis-alignment of my pelvis and high arches (not this simple but can’t remember all the medical terms…), not arthritis after all. The orthotics have been able to correct that. Cannot thank him enough!
Kathy Sharpe2025-08-14Can’t rate Jonathan highly enough after he helped our son with a nasty ingrown toenail. After pointless antibiotics from the Drs, a lack of NHS appointments, being turned away from a full minor injuries clinic, and eventually being referred for surgery but with a long wait time, I tried Jonathan in desperation. He’d been brilliant with a problem I had last year, so knew he was great. Jonathan called me several times out of hours, and escalated doing the procedure when he saw how badly infected my son’s toe was getting. Within a few days, my nervous son was reassured, supported, treated, and then received aftercare for a month over several check ups. Sadly, given how things are with the NHS at the moment, we’ve only just had a notification that my son would get a telephone consultation now, weeks after he’s been treated and signed off by Jonathan and the clinic! My son was in absolute agony with his toe and at risk of a serious infection, so it was totally money well spent. Thanks again - you’re a super star!! ⭐️
Elisha Gatewood2025-08-12Phenomenal service from Jonathan. Had months of pain in my foot to which was resolved in minutes. Super welcoming, definitely recommend.
squaddie !2025-08-07Been visiting the Clinic for a few years now and I dread to think how dysfunctional my body would be without the help of Jonathon. My most recent trip was to discuss knee pain that was becoming debilitating. I had spent more than 4 months with the NHS trying different exercises to no avail and I had resorted to taking paracetamol everyday to deal with the pain. I became suspicious that the issue could be being caused by my foot as I had noticed a correlation but I was shut down by my regular doctors. I went to double check with Jonathon as he is the best Podiatrist I know and I wanted some advice from a medical professional that I trust. The man fixed it in under 3 minutes.... 4 months of pain gone in an instant. Numerous doctors could not do in 4 months what this man did in 3 minutes. I am incredibly fortunate that Jonathon practices podiatry at this point in time, any later and I would probably be unable to walk. Any earlier and I fear he may have been executed for practicing witchcraft. I could not recommend the clinic enough. If you have even the slightest inkling that something isn't quite right with the way you walk or you have any pain that could be caused by your feet, SEE A PODIATRIST! My life would be considerably worse if I had not.
chris hobbs2025-07-15I went first with foot pain. Had 2 steroid injections and ultrasound but no effect Jonathan’s insole cured the problem in about a month- he diagnosed Morton’s Neuroma. Some time later my second knee developed typical osteoarthritis pain. A surgeon said he would replace the joint. I waited but symptoms persisted. I asked Jonathan if he could help. I hadn’t expected anything for my longstanding lower back pain. He analysed my posture and gait and felt problems there were contributing to both of my symptoms. After carefully assessing me he provided orthotic appliances. I have had substantial reduction in both back and knee pain. As a doctor I was ignorant of podiatry and orthotics. It has been revelation . Jonathan is extremely capable, has geeat communication skills explaining everything he does. I am very grateful for his help with my problems. Can’t recommend him enough!
Sarah2025-07-04I made an appointment to see Jonathan Stanley after reading his amazing reviews. I had been suffering with sore feet, poor balance and back and knee pain for a number of years and was desperate to find a solution to my problems. He is a great listener, very thorough and spent a lot of time and care diagnosing my problem and explaining how orthotics could make a difference to my life. It was clear to me straight away that he is very professional, experienced and passionate in his field of work and I came away from the initial appointment feeling so happy and positive of a good solution. I was not wrong - I received my individual, tailor made orthotics a couple of weeks later with clear instructions on how to start using them and 6 weeks later, I am so thrilled with the results. I am so much steadier on my feet and my foot and back pain has gone. I feel like I’ve got my life back and can enjoy walking and movement again. It is the best money I’ve ever spent and would highly recommend Jonathan - thank you so much.
sasha feldman2025-06-13Dealt with debilitating foot and ankle pain for weeks and went to see Jonathan. He explained the issue to me (blocked ankle joint and dislocation) and explanation as to why it happened and was able to ease the pain within minutes and discussed next steps on how to ensure this won’t happen again! Truly an amazing experience and couldn’t recommend more.
Apollo Howe2025-06-10Amazing help from Conor at FPC! I had an issue with an ingrown toenail and it was very promptly looked at and the surgery was booked to fix it next day! Super pleased with the service and Conor is clearly very passionate and knowledgeable about his work
