Mary Hewetson Cottage Hospital reviews

Felt a rip in my heel to my toes when out walking a few days ago. Couldn’t put any weight on it. Wasn’t getting any better, so came here for help. Quickly diagnosed with plantar fasciitis and got some good tips on how to deal with it. Staff were great. Friendly and professional.

I attended on 26 May 23 following a fall which resulted in a lacerated left arm. The nurse, Jenny, who attended to me was very professional. She took a considerable time to clean and dress the wounds and explained what she was doing at each stage. Excellent service.
