About the Orillia Foot Clinic & Wellness Centre.
The Orillia Foot Clinic & Wellness Centre was established in 2001 as an independent private practice. As time passed we saw a need to expand our services and not only concentrate on the feet. By including other professional health care practitioners we are able to offer services that address the rest of the body as well. Thus the “wellness” component became a reality.
