About Ansdell Foot Clinic
The practice has been established for many years and Michelle Buckley took over the practice in 2016. Later that year Michelle took on associate podiatrists to cope with the increasing numbers of patients, and in 2019 Michelle sold her Cheshire practice to concentrate solely on the business in Ansdell. The clinic offers a range of services alongside general foot care and the staff pride themselves on high levels of customer care.
