Bob Main Retirement – Peebles
Bob Main, Peebles’ longest-serving podiatrist, is retiring at the end of December. Bob has asked us to take over his patient list, and we’re pleased to welcome all his patients to continue their care with us.
Peebles Clinics and Locations
We will operate two Peebles locations—our existing clinic and Bob Main’s current premises—during January and February 2027 while we evaluate which location to retain. By the end of February, one location will close, and the remaining clinic will open on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. Marc will be based in Peebles for at least these two months.
Wednesday Clinics and Home Visits
All existing Wednesday appointments in Penicuik and Peebles will be honoured. After these appointments conclude, both clinics will close on Wednesdays, as this will become our dedicated day for home visits. Due to increasing demand, some home visit schedules might be adjusted to better coordinate between Penicuik and Peebles.
Staffing Changes – Penicuik
Kim will take over Thursday clinics in Penicuik from Ying, who will continue to cover Fridays. Ying will also manage all existing Wednesday appointments until the Wednesday clinics conclude.
Admin Recruitment – Penicuik
Due to Marc working from Peebles for at least two months, we are currently advertising and will soon interview for an additional administrative staff member at our Penicuik clinic.
Phone Booking and Appointment Changes (Coming Soon)
Due to increased demand, we will shortly add a third phone-line option specifically for patients wishing to make or change appointments. Once this service is live, please note that if you initially book an appointment in-clinic at the discounted rate (£45 Penicuik, £50 Peebles) but subsequently change the appointment via phone, the standard rate (£60 Penicuik, £65 Peebles) will apply.
This additional cost covers the administrative expense of providing staffed phone support. Discounted rates will continue to apply when appointments are booked or rearranged directly in the clinic during your visit, or rearranged using the online booking system.

DO NOT USE CORN PLASTERS!!!
This video highlights the potential dangers associated with medicated corn removers.
Recently, we treated a patient who experienced severe skin damage after using a corn plaster purchased from a local pharmacy. The salicylic acid in the plaster caused a burn that extended almost to the bone. We immediately referred her to her GP for urgent care.
We've initiated discussions with the retail pharmacy to raise awareness about the risks of selling these products without proper podiatric guidance. It's crucial to understand that while corn plasters are readily available, their misuse can lead to serious complications.
We highly recommend watching the video above before attempting any self-treatment. Being informed about the risks can prevent potential harm.
Always consult with a qualified podiatrist before using such treatments to ensure your safety and well-being.
About the Clinic
The Penicuik Podiatrist Clinic is owned and run by Podiatrist Ying Peng and is located in the Precinct area of Penicuik Town Centre. Our regular opening hours are Wednesday to Friday, along with the first Saturday of the month.
Ying herself is a nationally acknowledged expert in treating the feet of patients with Alzheimer's and Dementia. She conducts home visits exclusively on Saturdays and works for the NHS in West Lothian from Monday to Wednesday. Her husband, Marc Stuart, serves as the Practice Manager and also works from the clinic as a Medium.
The clinic also employs Kimberley Blair, a Podiatrist with over two decades of experience. Additionally, we provide a unique Gait Analysis service using Digitsole, a specialty that sets us apart as one of only four podiatry clinics in the region offering this advanced service.
Please note that the clinic has a phone system with a menu, so listen carefully to choose the correct option. Bookings can be made through our online booking system.
New patients are asked to pay in advance for their first appointment, and payment is accepted by card only.
We wish to make it clear that we are not the cheapest Podiatrists in town, nor do we claim to be. We do, however, invest heavily in both the clinic itself and support services such as our website, booking system, and phone system. We strive to respond outside of clinic hours as swiftly as possible, but please be aware that responses to phone messages might take some time.
Please let me know if there are any other changes or details you would like to include!
