Having got to an age when reaching my toenails to cut them is quite difficult, I decided to use the services of a podiatrist. I have been very pleased with the treatment I received at Active Feet where Jordan doesn't just cut nails but offers sound advice about keeping feet healthy generally. I'd certainly recommend them.Posted on Kaeleigh CampbellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've always had incredibly good experiences here, with all the staff.
