For bunion treatment in Surrey, Advanced Footcare Group offers everything from conservative care to surgery, from our clinic in Dorking at the heart of the county. A named clinician assesses the bunion, explains your options honestly, and sees your care through, whether that means managing it without surgery or planning an operation.
A bunion rarely appears on its own. How you stand and walk, the shoes you wear, and the miles you put in all play a part, and in an active county like Surrey the walking, golf and days out on the Hills can make a painful bunion harder to live with. We look at the whole picture, not just the bump, so we can slow it down, ease the pain, and advise honestly on whether and when surgery is worth considering.
Many bunions are managed well without an operation, with orthotics, padding and the right footwear. Where surgery genuinely is the right step, we explain the procedure, the recovery and the realistic outcome clearly, so you can decide with confidence.

Questions
Frequently asked questions.
The things people in Surrey ask us most often , from booking and referrals to what to expect at your first appointment , answered by our clinicians.
Do I need surgery for a bunion?
Often not, at least not yet. Many bunions are managed well with orthotics, padding and footwear advice to ease the pain and slow progression. Surgery is considered only when a bunion is painful or getting worse, and it is always your decision after a full assessment.
Can walking and golf in Surrey make a bunion worse?
They can add to the discomfort. Miles on the Hills and rounds of golf load the forefoot, so a painful bunion is felt more. We assess your activity and footwear as part of managing it.
Where is your clinic in Surrey?
We are in Dorking, central to the county at the Medwyn Centre on Reigate Road, easy to reach from across Surrey.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book a private appointment directly, without a GP referral, and be seen promptly by a named clinician.
Will a bunion get worse if I leave it alone?
Bunions tend to progress slowly over time, though the pace varies a lot from person to person and some change very little for years. Leaving one alone will not usually cause harm if it is comfortable, but it is worth having it assessed so you know where you stand. We advise honestly on whether to treat now or simply monitor it, and help you slow it down and stay comfortable either way.

Real outcomes, real reviews.
Such lovely service. Saw me the same day (due to a cancellation) and Nigel was extremely thorough and kind. Thank you so much 🙏

I saw Audrey today who was lovely and so helpful and knowledgeable. Gave me some good recommendations which I've followed up and I feel more positive about my feet problems now.

Pippa saw me quickly for my initial assessment and then fitted me in to have my orthotics made in time for a long distance running event. The orthotics made a huge difference taking the pain and blisters away from my big toes. Thank you!
I have since seen Grahame who gives you confidence for any procedures that you may need. He uses new technology (ultrasound scanner) which gives an accurate diagnosis enabling him to discuss the best treatment plan with you.

I have seen Grahame Mann on a few occasions with my feet issues. Each time I have been in pain and each time he has resolved them, has made me pain free and again able to walk without any problems. He is such a very talented man with amazing skills. I will always be forever grateful for all he has done for me. I highly recommend him to anyone who suffers with foot problems. He really is the best.

After 3 years of going “ow ow ow” with every step, following a complicated fracture, and unable to sit with my foot on the floor, I was most fortunate to come across the foot pain clinic at the Medwyn Centre. They quickly diagnosed further damage from the accident that neither the surgeon who operated on the fracture nor an orthopaedics consultant I saw after the first year of pain had detected.
I was relieved to be told that the treatment would be manipulation therapy rather than more surgery. It was going to take time, and I was warned there was no guarantee of success. Six months later I am delighted to report that I am 95% pain-free and able not only to walk in a straight line but also go for walks in the woods. I am immensely grateful to Grahame and Nigel for their expert knowledge and skilful care.

My son has been seeing Mr Mann for a year and he has changed his life. After seeing him for an ingrown toenail, Mr Mann diagnosed him with split second calf, and set about treating this with exercise and orthotics. We had tried for many years for other medical professionals to see what was wrong with his feet but with no luck. My son has worked hard to correct all of this but without Mr Mann's help and guidance this wouldn't have happened. He can now start his driving lessons again. Total life changer.

Very happy with my treatment from Mr Mann. I have suffered with a connective tissue disease for many years, and in fact before I even had my diagnosis, I saw Mr Mann with regards to my bunions and he said way back in 2014 that he thought I might have EDS. This was proven to be true almost 10 years later after going back and forth to my GP with various joint and foot issues. He is very knowledgeable about EDS and has helped me immensely with sorting out various issues with my feet.
I am very grateful for my care at Advanced Footcare Group. I most likely will be a long-term patient here due to my condition, but it feels so refreshing for my EDS to be able to be understood by someone that knows all about its complexities.

I have been a patient of Grahame Mann for many years and know of his expertise. But recently I suffered a number of problems including pain in a toe and debilitating knee and back pain. His excellent diagnosis and advice of a fractured toe, new orthoses and exercises has set me on the road to health again. I am so grateful!

I was referred to the Advanced Footcare Group and I was very pleased with the care I received. They immediately understood the issue I was having and were able to solve it fast. Their care has had a transformative effect on my life and I highly recommend visiting if you're having any problems with your feet.

Mr Grahame Mann has treated me for an ingrowing toenail that was causing considerable discomfort. I came to Advanced Footcare at the Medwyn Centre because of his credentials and was not disappointed. His removal of the nail and aftercare was second to none. Extremely good value for money as cost of surgery included all aftercare appointments too. I highly recommend him if you need a chiropodist/podiatrist/surgeon.

Over 2 years ago, I saw Mr Grahame Mann to address the pain and tension resulting from my unstable gait. His analysis and prescription of custom insoles supported my whole body very well and greatly increased stability. In addition it improved my athletic performance in various endeavours because the redistribution of my centre of gravity and greater stability led to better movement throughout my body as my feet and lower limbs were put in a very slightly different, but much better alignment - to produce force and maintain balance. Many thanks to Advanced Footcare Group.
