My name is Tatiana Kavtaradze.
In 2014, I moved to Georgia from Ukraine, where I was already a practicing podologist.
I am currently the founder and lead specialist of "Kavtaradze Podology Center." Under my leadership, there are now two clinics in Tbilisi and Batumi.

In 2014, fate brought me to Georgia, and I quickly fell in love with the country. Like many women who move to an unfamiliar place, I began searching for a hairdresser, a manicurist, and a pedicurist. Before moving to Georgia, I regularly received services at the first podology center in Kyiv. At that time, my interest in every detail led me to pursue training in podology.
After a few unsuccessful attempts to find a pedicure service as a client and asking for recommendations, I realized I wouldn't find the podologist I needed.
Frankly, I became worried about my health. When one technician pulled out tools from a device filled with glass bead sterilizer, I told her, "I'm sorry, but I’m not willing to risk my health." (My patients know the difference between proper and improper sterilization, and for those who are new or considering a procedure, we're preparing a detailed post about this).
As you can probably tell, I followed the principle of "if you want something done right, do it yourself".
In 2016, I opened my first podology clinic in the city of Poti.
As I began my practice and underwent more advanced training, I realized this profession is costly, not just in terms of education but also equipment, tools, treatments, and supplies. So, I created a strategy—selling something valuable but not effective at the time to meet podology standards from the start (a little secret: I sold my apartment. Yes, I took a risk, but I couldn't do it any other way).
I wanted my patients to walk into my clinic and be pleasantly surprised by what they saw. My first clinic was equipped professionally, with strict adherence to disinfection and sterilization standards, regardless of being in the small town of Poti.
I was deeply inspired by my first teacher's clinic, and I didn't want to work under any other conditions because I respect both myself and my patients. I always strive to use the best in my work.
After working in Poti for a year and a half, I began receiving patients from Batumi and Tbilisi.
More and more requests started coming from Tbilisi, and eventually, I was splitting my work between the two cities.
In 2019, I moved my clinic from Poti to Batumi, and that same year, I opened my independent podology center in Tbilisi. It was a year of fruitful openings and important decisions regarding expansion, transforming my small clinic into a full-fledged podology center. Why didn't I do this earlier? It was crucial for me to personally train every specialist in my clinic, because only when I could trust them as much as I trust myself would I feel confident scheduling patients with them.
In 2022, I opened my center in Batumi.
People often ask why it’s difficult to get an appointment with me. The short answer is: my love for what I do and my desire to be the best in my profession. Since entering podology, I understand clearly what my mission in life is.
