About Carlisle Road Foot Care
Our story began on Carlisle Road. And we’re still here for you.
In 1993, Elaine McLaughlin opened her practice at 40 Carlisle Road. More than three decades later, Carlisle Road is still our home.
Our address has changed along the way. Our story has stayed on the same street — from our first rented premises to the clinic at 63–65 Carlisle Road.
