Sandy has been a huge help with my posterior ankle impingement. He quickly identified the issue, explained it clearly, and gave me a plan that worked. The advice and exercises were practical and easy to follow, and I’ve seen real progress since. He’s also a top bloke – genuinely welcoming, easy to talk to, and clearly knows his stuff. I’m now back to training with confidence. Highly recommend if you’re dealing with ankle problems.

Excellent care from Sandy on every visit. Not only does he know his stuff, he has a great, friendly personality making what would usually be a bit of a laborious procedure into an enjoyable experience. Plus my feet have never felt or looked better!

Very positive experience with Sandy at my recent appointment- he knows his stuff and I trusted him explicitly. I have visited various podiatrist’s over past 18 months and each time I have been in pain and dreaded next appointment, however this time no pain , no infection and clear instructions on preventative measures rather than unnecessary surgery that I was previously told I needed . Would 100% recommend Farma Footcare .

Great friendly service

Sandy was very friendly and provided a knowledgeable service with tips to keep on top of the skin on my feet between appointments. This was my first appointment, and my feet felt fantastic afterwards. I’ve already booked in again.

Excellent Service

I first met Sandy when he worked at the Shuropody Ilford branch. He then transferred to Watford and later to the branch in Chelmsford before opening his own business. I remained a client of his throughout this period, travelling from Abbey Wood London. I can say that I am pleased with the podiatry service Sandi provides, he is very professional and knowledgeable and I would have no hesitation recommending him.

Exceptional Service + Health and Safety

I am a 17 year old male who of the last half a year struggled with an ingrown toenail, I would try to pry/cut it out myself and it only made the situation worse, Sandy was stern with me about that but I completely understand as he only wants the best for me, he treated me today and removed what was left of my ingrown nail. At every given moment, Sandy made sure I was okay and asked if I wanted him to stop due to pain, he was exceptionally caring toward me, he also made the appointment a funny atmosphere in which we both laughed a lot, I personally think it was very professional to do so as I am under the age of 18 and wouldn’t want me to be scared considering it was also my first time, I incredibly enjoyed the company of having Sandy deal with my situation, but of course did not enjoy getting it removed as yes it does hurt a lot, overall I could not have asked for anyone better, he made sure I was okay afterwards as I felt a little faint and sick, made me a glass of water and offered me the bathroom to sit in and cool down, he made sure I spoke a lot so that I wouldn’t faint, I think it was exceptional behaviour and he dealt with me brilliantly, thank you Sandy 🙏🏻

Excellent treatment.

I had my second visit with Sandy and again I was very happy with my treatment, I felt extremely comfortable and left with my feet feeling so much more comfortable. I have happily rebooked for another appointment.

A Totally Outstanding Podiatrist

Sandy once again gave up his lunch and resolved my pain. An outstanding professional who gives great treatment and practical advice on maintaining my foot. Sandy you are one in a million. That’s why no one else will touch my feet. Thank you

Unprofessional to say the least.

One star too many.
I am confused to read all of these reviews. I visited Farma Footcare recently for the first time.
Sandy could not have been less professional.
He was quite rude to me numerous times. He got annoyed with me for reacting with ticklish feet! He displayed annoyance with me flinching when he was digging under a sensitive damaged toenail! (huffing and telling me ‘he’ll just stop now then’!). He was disgusted that I had previously used shop bought verruca treatment for a verruca! He shared his frustration that I was wearing the wrong footwear (converse)!
Sandy showed little, to no patience. He totally dismissed advice a podiatrist had given many years ago, and when I went on to further elaborate he asked me if I was questioning his ‘three year degree’ and ‘29 years’ experience.
So rude! So unprofessional, and basically charged me £45 for a pedicure. His manner was so poor and advice so basic that I found myself searching for evidence of qualification within the office.
Quite a strange experience, not one I would repeat or recommend unfortunately.

Dear Melanie

Thank you for your feedback. I’m genuinely sorry to hear that your visit to Farma Footcare wasn’t the positive experience we aim to provide.

Your appointment was booked as both a consultation and treatment session, and I always do my best to make the most of the time available to support patients with their concerns. However, I understand that sometimes expectations and communication don’t fully align, and I’m sorry if that caused any discomfort or confusion.

We always aim to offer a high standard of care and professionalism, and I’m disappointed to hear you left feeling otherwise. I can assure you that your concerns were not taken lightly, and I regret that you felt uncomfortable during your appointment.

I take your comments seriously and will reflect on the experience you’ve described to help improve how we support our clients going forward. If you would like to discuss this further, I’d be happy to speak with you directly.

Wishing you the very best,
Sandy

Anjana - Outstanding Podiatric Care with Exceptional Patience and Expertise

I recently visited Sandeep Farma for treatment of a long due appointment, I couldn't be more pleased with the care I received. From the moment I walked into the clinic, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism.
Sandeep is incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to thoroughly explain the treatment. His expertise and attention to detail were evident throughout the consultation. Even though I had a lot of questions and might have been a bit annoying, Sandeep remained patient and understanding throughout. He never made me feel rushed or bothersome, which I truly appreciated.
He listened to my concerns and answered all my questions with patience and clarity, ensuring I felt comfortable and informed.
I highly recommend Sandeep to anyone in need of podiatric care.
Thank You Sandeep.

This was my second visit in Farma footcare . After the treatment, my feet fell smoother and, most importantly, pain-free.
I highly recommend Farma Footcare for anyone struggling with calluses. It was definitely worth it!

Thank you

Good Chiropodist in Chelmsford

Went to see Sandy for redness on a right toe. Turned out a corn was causing a blister. Blister and corn treated, along with dry cracked heels, nail cutting and treatment of blackened toe nail. All efficiently and effectively dealt, next appointment booked by the easy to book internet Forma Footcare diary. Ground floor clinic easy to access
from Tindall Square, thoroughly recommended.

You’ll leave this appointment feeling transformed

Today was my 3rd visit with Sandy and once again, I left with ‘Happy Feet’!
I originally went to Sandy with excruciating feet, unbeknown to me I had a Neuro Vascular Corn! 3 appointments down and I am left with just a ‘corn’ which is to be maintained. The care and commitment offered by Sandy is second to none, the transformation of my feet is incredible; this is the first year in many that I have been pain free whilst walking.
If you have any foot issues, please don’t hesitate, these appointments are the ones you never considered before to enable you to live your best life!
Out of all my regular appointments, this is the one where I see and feel an incredible difference and is a much needed routine to my life.

After years of neglecting my feet

After years of neglecting my feet , playing sports and walking /running long distance’s , I had developed corns all over both of my feet, which were causing me a lot of discomfort.
Sandy has done an amazing job with removing these and after two sessions so far, I can now stand on my shower tray and run around all day without pain and discomfort.
Booking is easy , Sandy is knowledgeable, professional and friendly . I would Highly recommend going to see him if like me your feet need a bit of TLC.
