Frazer McKechnie

Founder & Podiatrist · BSc (Hons) · HCPC & SCPod registered

I pride myself in providing a high standard of care, and I love podiatry because those who receive the treatment they need can have a happier, healthier quality of life.

I graduated from Glasgow Caledonian University with an honours degree in podiatry. Initially I spent several years working locally for the National Health Service where I found great enjoyment treating those with various conditions affecting the foot and lower limb. An opportunity to work closely with a team of vastly experienced podiatrists in North Wales and Cheshire then presented itself — difficult to turn down, and a chance to further develop my own skills and standard of practice. After a year away it was time to bring the knowledge, skills and experience I had gained back home to Helensburgh at Argyll Foot Clinic.

I am confident in my knowledge of conditions affecting the foot and lower limb, but also have the ability to apply this to people, leaving those I see feeling satisfied with their treatment.

Before becoming a podiatrist I spent 6 years working as a nursing assistant in almost every general and psychiatric hospital in Greater Glasgow, and 2 years as a full-time church volunteer in England. There is no doubt the attributes gained from these experiences have transferred to my current profession.

Originally from the outskirts of Glasgow’s south side, I now live in Dumbarton with my wife and young son. We all enjoy spending time with family and friends, playing football and getting involved in local service opportunities.
