Dan O'Hear

Podiatrist

Graduated from Glasgow Caledonian University in 2020
Five years’ experience working across private clinics throughout the west of Scotland and the central belt.
I enjoy all aspects of podiatry, with particular interests in general foot care, biomechanics, MSK issues, nail surgery, and vascular podiatry.
My approach is simple: treat the patient, not just the condition. I believe in listening carefully, making treatments comfortable, and giving patients a positive experience as well as a solution to their problem.
I stay active through kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and I enjoy football, trying new foods, and spending time with my family, friends and my dog, Milo.
I look forward to helping patients maintain healthy, comfortable feet as part of this well established clinic.

8 STEPS FOR FANTASTIC FEET

Moisturise feet daily making sure to avoid in between the toes
After washing remember to dry between the toes to help avoid Tinea Pedis a fungal condition known as Athlete’s foot
Filing nails and hard skin can help reduce build up between appointments
Cut nails in a correct manner avoiding cutting at an angle or down the nail. If in any doubt visit a podiatrist
Wear suitable footwear for the occasion in the correct fitting. Try to go for function over style. It is also important to wear sport specific footwear to help protect the foot and change footwear regularly
Stay active to the best of your abilities, Exercise is great for the lower limb and helps control the individuals weight
Avoiding sitting or standing for long periods of time. If you can’t help this go up and down on tip toes to help blood flow
If you have any concerns, visit Thomas at Sole Works Podiatry

TESTIMONIALS

'Excellent Service'

Visited Sole Works Podiatry for the first time with an ingrown toenail. Excellent service received, from making the initial call to getting treated. Not only did Tommy treat my nail issue but he also checked my other nails and feet. Reasonably priced and in a great location with parking. Highly recommend’ August 2021

'Knows His Stuff'

This young man Thomas really knows his stuff, he puts you at ease. He also will make sure at the last minute he will get you an appointment. Best thing that has opened in Prestwick. He is inspirational

M Logan, June 2021

'Superb Experience'

Superb experience, I was very impressed. I was reticent about trying my first Podiatrist/Chiropodist. I need not have been, I was treated very professionally in a friendly and VERY clean atmosphere. Value for money was very good. This is a very useful service to have locally and although recently set up is already achieving very high standards. I can thoroughly recommend Thomas as a caring and very competent Podiatrist. Do not neglect your feet, they have a lifetime of work ahead of them

C Barnes, June 2021

'Thomas put me at ease'

I have to say I had the most pleasant experience whilst attending an appointment I made. I was apprehensive due to fear of pain on my feet but I can wholeheartedly say this guy put me totally at ease. I had two corns removed and hard skin treatment done. Just over half an hour later I left feeling I had new feet. The chatter was very amusing and kept me distracted the whole time and to be honest he was very funny and made the whole experience very worthwhile. 10 out of 10. Will be making another appointment as after today I realised I should look after my feet the way I do other things to do with health.
