Pete, Lead Podiatrist and Director of Eclipse Foot Clinic. I absolutely love my job, but the best bit about it are the smiles on clients faces when we get to the bottom of a problem that's affecting their enjoyment of life. I get a real kick out of that! I'm often asked WHY I started Eclipse and the answer is simple: we aspire to be the BEST at what we do. Too many times, a client has been to see a range of other people without success, only for us as the foot experts to identify the problem and fix it for them. That really is frustrating. I know that we produce exceptional results and achieve this by investing heavily in team training and the latest equipment (a boy does need his toys after all!).
