About the practice
Built on a career of hands‑on care.
Achilles Podiatry is run by Ian MacLeod, an HCPC‑registered chiropodist with a career spanning more than four decades — including service as a British Army medic. That background shows up in the way appointments run: precise, unhurried, and focused on getting a problem properly resolved rather than just managed.
The clinic treats the conditions that quietly get in the way of daily life — corns, callus, cracked heels, verrucae, bunions and sports injuries — alongside specialist diabetic foot care. For patients who can't easily get to clinic, home visits are available across Hull.
Achilles Podiatry is an independent practice, based at 431 Holderness Road, Hull, in the same building as East Yorkshire Back Clinic, and is covered by most private healthcare schemes.

First time I have had to use one, but after a hip replacement I got this guy — trust me, he's good. My feet are so much better now… the night before I could not sleep from the throbbing in my big toes. Well done Ian, will use again. Also has a very pleasant manner.Google review · Achilles Podiatry, Hull
