Mrs Sally Feeney 2019-04-23 Person 5 5 0

I was referred to Mrs Sally Feeney in March 2018 due to progressively worsening bunions on both feet and added complications of hammer and dislocated toes. Overall these led to significantly painful feet and difficulty getting comfortable shoes, not to mention frequent Podiatrist visits for corn removal from the dislocated toe and callous removal due to the varying foot issues. I never sought surgery to be ‘able to wear nice shoes’ but simply to be able to walk and sleep without painful feet! Although the bunion on my right foot was worse, my left caused more immediate issues with the dislocated toe and Mrs Feeney recommended bunion surgery and toe straightening. The operation was done as a day patient in June 2018 and I had recovered sufficiently to elect to have a bigger ‘mid foot fusion’ surgery plus toe straightening on my right foot in December 2018. I received great care and support from all staff at the Shelburne and Sally Feeney provided excellent pre and post op advice and support. While the pain from the surgery is relatively short term, the post op recovery period, especially from the second surgery is considerably longer – as fully advised by Mrs Feeney. The second op required me to be on crutches for 6 weeks and will take upto 12 months for full recovery, however 4 months or so on and having had regular physiotherapy - following both surgeries - I can walk comfortably in trainers and look forward to being able to return to more regular footwear. The outcome is looking very positive and I am happy to recommend Mrs Sally Feeney
