Our caring Podiatrists are the Mobile Podiatry specialists for the Waikato
Driven by a desire to serve and provide foot-care solutions to some of the most vulnerable groups within the community, in 2006 Jessica began caring for clients’ podiatry needs in the comfort of their own homes in Christchurch. Moving with her family back to Hamilton in 2009 her mobile podiatry service began to look after the feet of the Waikato.
Since this inception almost two decades ago, Jessica Dobbs Podiatry now has a small team of dedicated and caring podiatrists that serve the greater Waikato area for both home visits and clinic appointments . Together they provide high quality podiatry services at clients’ homes and in rest homes, care facilities, hospitals, or other situations where getting to a podiatry clinic is too difficult.
Our Podiatry clinics in Flagstaff and Pirongia opened out of a heart to serve our local communities and help them with their foot health how we can. We believe that everyone should have access to good podiatry care so we do our best to be as accessible as possible to meet the needs of all our clients..
Podiatry for all
Our mission at Jessica Dobbs Podiatry is to provide exceptional podiatric care that prioritises the Hauora (well-being) of our patients. With a resolute commitment to accessibility, we strive to ensure that every individual, regardless of their circumstances, has access to the highest quality lower limb care. Through compassion, expertise, and innovation, we aim to enhance the mobility, comfort, and overall health of our patients. We foster communities where everyone can be seen, heard and cared for.
