Welcome

Howlett & Dickinson is a podiatry practice established in 1982, based in Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne and our practice is the first in the North East to be accredited by the Royal College of Podiatry.

This means we have reviewed our standards to ensure they comply with the national standards and best practices within the profession.

Your First Visit

On your first visit to H & D you will receive a full consultation and treatment. We will take a full medical history, you will be required to fill in a New Patient Registration form and then discuss with you any problems that you may have. We will then assess your feet and lower limb and diagnose any problems we find. We will routinely cut and file your nails if necessary, and treat any corns, callous, damaged, thickened, fungal or ingrown toe nails….

Biomechanical Assessment & Gait Analysis

When attending H & D for gait analysis, please bring shorts and a T shirt to change into, along with your sports shoes and work shoes or shoes that you wear a lot. A biomechanical examination involves taking a series of measurements of the feet and legs …..

Testimonials

Plantar fasciitis can be excruciating and long lasting. At my wit’s end from this recurrent problem which was affecting my life in so many ways I turned to Carol Howlett, bleating to her about my woes.

I cannot thank her enough for her advice, exercises and the course of 5 Laser Treatments in particular, that made such amazing improvements to the pain which has now all but gone. I can walk for miles and easily manage any twinges with stretching exercises.

“Laser” is painless. It took the 5 treatments I was given to sort out my considerable problems, but has worked. I can now stride out with my dog everyday and get on with my life without thinking about my feet for the first time in years.

With sincere thanks, from a very satisfied client.

Laser Treatment

I received my Richie Brace to aid with my foot drop acquired from nerve damage. Having the Richie Brace has given me confidence to walk comfortably and for a lot longer. I recently managed to complete an outdoor tree trekking activity I thought i’d never be able to do again. Also aesthetically I’m less conscious of how my foot looks when walking. Very happy!!

The Richie Brace

I have been a client of Howlett & Dickinson for a number of years and I have been delighted with the service I have received. If there are any issues you always are given an appointment with excellent aftercare service.
I cannot recommend Howlett & Dickinson enough and their doors were never closed during lockdown.

Just to say a big thank you to Judith for your advice and helping me sort my sore feet!

It was an education, and your help in finding me suitable shoes (and then checking them for suitability!) has been invaluable, and I ma very pleased and grateful for your help.
