Susan Coburn is a highly experienced full-time private practitioner dedicated to providing the local community with a professional, compassionate, and comprehensive podiatry service. She is committed to delivering high standards of patient care, with a strong emphasis on improving mobility, relieving pain, and promoting long-term foot health.

Susan originally qualified as a Registered Psychiatric Nurse in 1988, developing valuable skills in patient-centred care, communication, and holistic healthcare. She later pursued her passion for Podiatry, graduating from Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh, with a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Podiatry in 1999.

Since qualifying as a Podiatrist, Susan has spent over 30 years working exclusively in private practice, gaining extensive experience in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of foot and lower limb conditions. Throughout her career, she has built a reputation for delivering personalised care, taking the time to understand each patient's individual needs and tailoring treatment plans to achieve the best possible outcomes.

She is committed to maintaining the highest professional standards and regularly undertakes Continuing Professional Development (CPD) to ensure her knowledge and clinical skills remain up to date with the latest evidence-based practice.

In addition to routine podiatry care, Susan has developed particular expertise in biomechanics and orthotic therapy, enhancing her ability to assess gait abnormalities, lower limb function, and musculoskeletal conditions. This advanced knowledge enables her to provide effective treatment plans that not only address foot problems but also improve overall lower limb function and reduce pain.

By combining her nursing background with more than two decades of podiatry experience, Susan offers a holistic, caring, and professional approach to patient care. Her aim is to help every patient maintain healthy, comfortable feet, remain active, and enjoy an improved quality of life.
