Norman Grotz BSc (Hons) and MRCPod
Hello, I'm Norman, the podiatrist behind Ashbrooke Foot Care.
I’m an HCPC-registered podiatrist , having graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Podiatry in 2024. Before becoming a podiatrist, I spent more than 20 years working in healthcare, giving me a strong appreciation of the importance of professionalism, attention to detail and, most importantly, treating every patient as an individual.
I established Ashbrooke Foot Care to provide friendly, professional podiatry in a relaxed and convenient setting. I enjoy helping people manage foot problems that can affect their comfort, mobility and independence, and I have a particular interest in musculoskeletal podiatry and biomechanics.
My approach is simple: listen carefully, explain things clearly and provide treatment that is appropriate for you. Whether you need routine foot care or help with a more troublesome problem, you're always welcome to get in touch.
Your feet carry you through life — let's help keep them healthy.
Our Services
Routine Foot Care
Keep your feet healthy and comfortable with professional routine podiatry treatment, including nail care, corn and callus removal, and advice to help prevent future problems.
Verruca Treatment
Verrucae can be persistent and sometimes painful, particularly when they occur on weight-bearing areas of the foot. We can assess the verruca and discuss suitable treatment options with you.
Thickened & Problem Nails
Thickened, damaged or difficult-to-manage toenails can be uncomfortable and difficult to cut. We provide safe professional nail care and advice about ongoing management.
Ingrown Toenail Treatment & Nail Surgery
Ingrown toenails can be extremely painful and, if left untreated, may become infected. We offer both conservative treatment and minor nail surgery under local anaesthetic to provide long-term relief.
Corn & Callus Removal
Painful corns and hard skin can make everyday activities uncomfortable. Gentle removal combined with expert advice can relieve discomfort and help reduce the risk of them returning.
Home Visit Podiatry
If getting to a clinic is difficult, our domiciliary service brings professional podiatry care to you. Home visits are particularly useful for people with mobility difficulties, older adults and those who simply prefer the convenience of treatment at home.
