If you are looking for foot surgery in Dorking, Advanced Footcare Group offers podiatric surgical care from our clinic at the Medwyn Centre on Reigate Road. Surgery is always a considered step, taken only when it is genuinely the right option for you, and every patient is looked after by a named clinician from the first assessment through to recovery.
Surgery is never our starting point. We assess every foot problem in full, look at how you stand and walk, and explore conservative treatment first. Many problems that seem to need an operation settle with orthotics, footwear changes or targeted treatment. Where surgery genuinely is the right answer, we explain the procedure, the recovery and the realistic outcome clearly, so you can decide with confidence and no pressure.
For patients in and around Dorking, having your assessment, surgery and follow-up all handled locally makes the whole process simpler. There is no long travel for appointments, and the clinician who assesses you is the one who plans your care and sees it through.

Serving Dorking and the surrounding area.
Our clinic is at the Medwyn Centre, Reigate Road, Dorking, so if you live in or around the town your assessment, treatment and follow-up are all close to home. Dorking is also central for the surrounding Surrey towns, and we see patients travelling in from Reigate, Redhill and further afield.
Where foot pain starts in Dorking
Years of climbing and descending Box Hill can wear and stiffen the big-toe joint
Repeated descents on the North Downs load a painful bunion or hammertoe that conservative care no longer settles
Narrow walking and sports shoes on the trails crowd the toes and worsen fixed deformities
Recovery is planned around the hilly local ground, so you rebuild walking safely on Dorking's slopes
We are on Reigate Road at the Medwyn Centre, a few minutes from Dorking town centre with parking on site.

Questions
Frequently asked questions.
The things people in Dorking ask us most often , from booking and referrals to what to expect at your first appointment , answered by our clinicians.
Where do you carry out foot surgery near Dorking?
We assess and plan foot surgery from our clinic at the Medwyn Centre on Reigate Road in Dorking. Your consultation, planning and follow-up care are handled locally, and we explain exactly what each stage involves before anything goes ahead, so there are no surprises.
Do I need a referral for foot surgery in Dorking?
No. You can book a private surgical consultation with us directly, without a GP referral. We assess the problem, explain honestly whether surgery is genuinely needed, and set out the alternatives so you can decide with full information.
Will I definitely need surgery?
Usually not. Most foot problems are managed without an operation, and we always explore conservative options first. Surgery is considered only when a problem is advanced or not responding to other treatment, and it is always your decision after a full assessment.
How long is recovery after foot surgery?
Recovery depends on the procedure and the individual, so we plan it with you rather than quote a single figure. It typically involves a period of protected walking, a gradual return to normal footwear, and a staged return to more demanding activity, with clear aftercare throughout.

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.
