ABOUT US
Established in 1993 by Ann James as a domiciliary practice (initially as Ann James Chiropody/Podiatry), our practice offers a friendly, professional & comprehensive private podiatry service for all the family in our purpose built clinic or in the comfort of your own home. We changed our name to Bebington Podiatry in 2000 when we opened our new clinic and as more podiatrists enhanced our team.
Ann qualified in 1980 from the then Northern College of Chiropody (now University of Salford School for Health Science) with a Diploma in Podiatric Medicine, returning in 1992 to graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in Podiatric Medicine from the University of Westminster. Ann offers general chiropody/podiatry treatment such as toenail trimming, corn & callus removal but her areas of special interest are:
Caring for the feet of people with diabetes & rheumatoid arthritis
Caring for the feet of people with other auto-immune diseases & those undergoing cancer treatment
Lacuna fungal nail treatment
Dermatology including dermoscopy (close examination of the skin & any lesions with a dermatascope)
Nail surgery for ingrown toenail (onychocryptosis) or painful toenails
Pedisafe medical model aesthetic toenail reconstruction & Gelous nail polish treatment
We are HCPC (Health & Care Professions Council) registered ( Ann was previously state registered until the regulatory body for Allied Health Professionals was changed to the HCPC include all health & social workers in 2003).

HAPPY CLIENTS
‘The orthotics you have made for me have given me my life back. I have no more pain in my feet, can go out walking again for pleasure and I cannot bear not to wear them. The last thing I do before leaving the house is check that my orthotics are in my shoes! Thank you so much’
Mrs P.H.

‘I hobbled into the surgery, now I feel like I am walking out on air!’
Mrs N.W
Spital
‘I can’t believe that all the terrible pain I used to have from my ingrown toenail has finally gone. I wish I had been to see you and had the operation years ago. I can even wear my high heels again (sorry, shouldn’t say that to my podiatrist!). Thank you, thank you, thank you!’
Mrs S.L.
Prenton
‘I was too embarressed to show my feet to anyone for years, I thought they were so ugly. You reassured me and made me feel comfortable throughout my treatment and now they look so much better!’
Mrs P.S.
Rock Ferry
‘I limped into the surgery four weeks ago with such pain in my bunions I could barely walk but after four weeks of marigold therapy, I have no pain at all and I completed a three mile walk at the weekend. I’m going to dance out!’
Mrs M.R.
