Durime De ★★★★★ Went to see Tim who was recommended to me by my sister. I've been having nail issues for 5 years, seen numerous doctors who all couldn't find out what the issue was. Tim picked it up straight away and I've finally started treatment thank you very much fantastic serviceResponse from the ownerIt's an absolute pleasure to help out D. Thank-you 🙏 Boon vin zhan ★★★★★ My first podiatry experience , had Tim Mulholland to educate me and help me with my heels. He is friendly and easy to talk to podiatrist with great insight towards what i need to do about my heels.Response from the ownerThanks Vin for trusting us to welcome you to the wonderful world of podiatry. Go well. Maria Fernanda Londoño Carvajal ★★★★★ I'm really delighted with my appointment.Dr. Tim was really kind, understanding, informative, and attentive. He was really professional. I strongly recommend him.Response from the ownerThanks-you Maria it was a pleasure to meet and help you out. Here's to getting strong feet again. 💪 Amira Mohd ★★★★★ I had a great session with Dr Tim and am so glad I chose pride Podiatry! Tim was very friendly, informative, caring and helpful. I think it's excellent that Tim provides videos in his follow-up email, as sometimes as a patient you're taking in a lot of new information after a doctor's appointment. The staff at the front desk was also lovely and made me feel welcome to the clinic. In comparison to my previous experience elsewhere- Pride Podiatry appears to take a contemporary approach to the overall client experience by using videos, ensuring excellent customer service and having a modern interior fit out. All these details made the appointment feel less stuffy/clinical, but warm and inviting instead. Highly recommend.Response from the ownerAw thanks Amira for the kind words. It can be daunting meeting a new health professional, remembering all the important actions, how to do exercises, what shoes will help. I'm so glad we were able to deliver. Until next time. Jessica Senden ★★★★★ Response from the ownerThank-you 🙏 N R ★★★★★ I met Tim Mulholland yesterday for a first ever podiatry session to treat an ingrowing toenail. I’m generally not keen on having any kind of procedure, but Tim was extremely understanding and helped to put me at ease in a very professional manner. The treatment undertaken was painless and efficiently delivered, and the ongoing management plan to ensure resolution was clearly communicated. I wouldn’t hesitate to return to see Tim for further issues and would highly recommend him.Response from the ownerThank-you for your kind words N. It was a pleasure to introduce you to the (wonderful) world of podiatry. Joao Mascarenhas ★★★★★ Tim was extremely professional: although he knew I would probably not be back, he was very thorough when acessing my health details before starting the treatment.

Tim Mulholland from Pride Podiatry is not only personable, but is incredibly knowledgeable, and passionate about all feet.
