Reviews
Mr Dawe is the most professional, empathetic, patient-driven and humble surgeon I've ever had the pleasure to meet. I've had rheumatoid arthritis for over 35 years and in that time have had over 15 surgeries by almost as many surgeons; Mr Dawe is, hands-down, the most incisive and talented surgeon of them all. Interestingly, I was recommended to see Mr Dawe by my podiatrist, who had come to the end of his abilities to treat me, and who had seen the results of Mr Dawe's surgeries on some of his other patients. Shahed (my podiatrist) located Mr Dawe (out of area) for me and suggested I see him, even though he knew I was extremely reluctant to even consider an 8th surgery on my feet. I'm so grateful to Shahed for nudging me as Mr Dawe went to great lengths to identify how best to help me, at the same time as rectifying the problems created by previous surgeries. I'm also thankful to Mr Dawe's entire team, and all of the medical staff at St Richard's Hospital NHS and cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you all so much, my appreciation knows no bounds.
I found Mr Dawe to be very personable and keen to get the best outcome for me. I had a keyhole bunionectomy 5 months ago and I am so pleased with the results. My foot is now a normal shape, I am no longer getting cramps and all of my toes on that foot eg the nails now look healthier.
Very good
I was referred to Mr Dawe and consider myself very fortunate. I found Mr Dawe to be understanding of my issues but also very forthright and focused on what needed to be done.
The resulting treatment and surgery improved my condition significantly and I am recovering well. My operation was not straightforward but Mr Dawe’s talent and skill enabled a successful outcome.
Very knowledgeable, articulate, takes time to explain and listens. A perfect combination wrapped with a friendly approach. Look forward to having Mr Dawe as my specialist consultant. Always had good support and work from Nuffield over the years.
