Dianne has the Audacity to Recommend Competitors, is she Mad?
Who do I recommend and why?
You might be thinking, ‘Dianne, have you lost the plot? Why would you recommend other podiatrists? You are going to lose business!’
IT’S ABOUT PROVIDING THE BEST SERVICE
I’ll tell you why…
I have always believed in providing the best service I can, even if that means it’s not me giving that service.
Most people know that my area of expertise is primarily skin and nail problems, BUT sometimes people come to me because they have heel pain or some sort of musculoskeletal problem.
Don’t get me wrong, I am more than happy to give my best shot on diagnosis, I do diagnose foot problems after all!
AREN’T THEY YOUR COMPETITORS?
I don’t see them as competitors, they’re colleagues.
We all have a range of skills that we use to help people with their foot problems, we have the same interest: helping you.
My priority is helping you to get your foot problem fixed in the most effective way possible.
Which is why I might refer you to someone who is a specialist in that area. After all, my main priority is helping you any way I can.
Simples!
If you need ongoing rehabilitation exercises…
I’m probably not the best person to help with the ongoing rehabilitation exercises that might be needed to fix the problem.
Especially if someone is a keen runner or athlete.
That’s why I want to recommend these podiatrists who are experts in this field, and people I know well.
With the added bonus: they all offer video consultations, so don’t worry if you’re struggling to travel.
Plus, just like myself, they all care about the person behind the foot.
That’s why I recommend:
Andrew Ayres of Ayres Health.
Andrew is a keen walker and runner, so if you need ongoing rehabilitation…then he’s someone who will understand what you’re likely going through.
If you’ve visited my clinic and want to work with someone closer, Ayres Health is based in Congleton. Don’t worry if you can’t travel though, as Andrew offers video consultations too.
Andrew specialises in treating injuries to the foot, ankle, and leg. He can help with your foot or leg injury and help you back on your feet.
Andrew has a special interest in running injury but can help anyone with a foot or leg injury return to activity.

What if you need foot surgery or steroid injection therapy? Not only does Lee do your usual bunion surgery, but also those tricky curled back toes. The more delicate and intricate the procedure, the more he loves doing it and getting the results his patients want!

THANKS FOR READING…
I could be cheeky and include myself as a recommendation, of course I would want to recommend myself!
But that’s not up to me, that’s up to you.
If you have worked with me now or in the past, I would love to hear your feedback! Get in touch and let me know!
