About us
We are on a mission to bringing high quality affordable specialist care to the heart of the community in Penarth and Cardiff. We only work with established experts in the field so you can be assured that you receive excellent care. We are Wales’ first consultant led private ultrasound service in the community. Unlike other community based ultrasound clinics which are not regulated by the Health Inspectorate Wales (HIW), our consultants and clinical work is heavily regulated by the General Medical Council, HIW and Royal College of Radiologists’ standards. In the coming months, we will be expanding the types of services we offer.

I would thoroughly recommend Acorn clinic. Personally I have been very well looked after - I got in touch re pain in my foot... & after having insoles in my shoes & then a scan... followed by a cortisone injection, my pain has now gone! All within weeks! Excellent

Patient Feedback
The Acorn team are fantastic. Had severe pain in my foot and ankle area. Was seen by Pretesh who referred me for an ultrasound and then injection using ultrasound of my tendon with Dr Junaid. Was really scared to be honest at first as I am dead scared of needles but Dr Junaid was very good and skilled. Pain is now much better and I am on the rehab program with the podiatry team.
