Welcome to Foot Surgery Services
Foot surgery services are provided by Tim Kilmartin FCPodS, PhD and Claire O’Kane FCPodS. We are NHS Consultant Podiatric Surgeons who have been providing NHS and private foot surgery since 1994.
We are located in Kingsbridge Private Hospital, Belfast, Woodthorpe Hospital Nottingham,, Hillsborough Private Clinic near Belfast, N. Ireland, North West Independent Hospital, Ballykelly the Health and Foot Clinic, 65 Carlisle Road Derry, Ilkeston Hospital, Derbyshire, and Ballymena Health and Therapy Centre. (see locations)
Podiatric Surgeons are trained specifically in the management of foot problems. They are not medical doctors but have specialised in the non surgical and surgical treatment of the foot. Training takes approximately 11 years. If you require medical management of your condition we will refer you to an appropriate specialist.
Over 18,000 evidence based foot operations
Between us we have performed over 18,000 foot operations. Our approach is always evidence based and to that end we have audited and researched every aspect of the foot surgery that we offer. Our surgical results and outcomes are now widely published and we are happy to share them with you, just click here, or hit the publications button.
No overnight hospital stay necessary
The majority of the foot surgery that we perform is under local
anaesthetic and none of our patients require an overnight stay in
hospital. The most common operations that we perform are bunion
and hammer toe corrections.
Please click the links, or view details
of these and other conditions described on subsequent pages.
We have helped thousands and thousands of people to achieve a quality of life that many of them had thought was gone forever.

Before and after bunion surgery by Foot Surgery Services:

Cosmetic foot surgery.
Many people manage their foot problems by being very selective with shoes and keeping their feet covered at all times. In this way they may keep their pain to a minimum but it has a real impact on their quality of life. Foot surgery can offer a lot for such problem feet. Please click here
Sports injuries. In Gaelic football, soccer, rugby and running, foot and ankle injuries can seriously restrict a player’s ability. With long experience of dealing with such injuries we have found that many are a result of training errors or problems with muscle flexibility. Most will respond well to simple non surgical treatments.
