Mr Edward Dawe

Mr Dawe was extremely kind, helpful and professional and I have every confidence in him.

I was looking for a second opinion on my right foot after previous surgery last May with a different surgeon left me in a worst position than before surgery. A fusion had been suggested next, but it wasn’t my joint that was the most painful problem, more pain in the top of my foot, which wasn’t present before surgery. I was struggling to manage my long 12.5 hour shifts, and my pain was making me miserable. I was too scared to go back to the same surgeon as i lost trust. Although I’m an nhs patient, Mr Dawe very kindly offered to see me when he heard my position. This is something he didn’t have to agree to do, it was his choice to help me. I was offered a consultation very quickly and had some imaging. Mr Dawe explained everything to me in detail, gave me all the options available, and we reached a decision about the best way forward together. Four weeks later I had joint preserving surgery expertly done by Mr Dawe, and he also identified a trapped nerve which he freed up, and a further cheilectomy as the first in May hadn’t been completed fully. I’m now six weeks post surgery and from the moment I woke from the anaesthetic I’ve been completely pain free. I had my six week follow up yesterday, and although I’m officially now discharged, I have an open appointment should I have any problems arise with my foot moving forward. Mr Dawe is a really lovely kind, caring professional Extremely approachable and nothing is too much trouble. I never felt hurried. I was so lucky to be under his care. I felt completely safe. I’m in no doubt I had the best care you could ever get, I can’t recommend him enough.

Thank you so much for undertaking my surgery. To be pain free is wonderful.

Very caring, friendly and puts you at ease from the start. Clear recommendations as to treatment. Surgery went well and was successful meaning a quick recovery and enabling life to get back to normal.

Mr Dawe treated my bunion with surgery. During my pre and post operation consultation he clearly explained the issue I was suffering from, the methods of dealing with it and the recovery process. He listened to my concerns and we agreed a way to deal with my problem. The actual surgery (keyhole) was quick and the result a very neat wound which can hardly be seen. Recovery has progressed better than I thought it would and I am very happy with the result.

I have just had toe surgery performed by Mr Dawe. From my very first initial appointment ,I felt put at ease and really felt he listened to everything I had to say, following up with tests and treatment as required very swiftly. Throughout the whole procedure from meeting him to my following up appointment after surgery ,my treatment has been totally 1st Class.I really felt at ease and gained great confidence in Mr Dawe and his team and would 100% recommend him as a consultant.

Very reassuring appointment and onward care

From the first appointment with Mr Dawe, he listened to every thing that hurt about my left foot. He understood my problem as i described it. He explained clearly how he would deal with the correction of my 2 troublesome toes. The operation was a complete success and the aftercare at the Nutfield was excellent, especially the night nurse who checked my observations during her night shift. The recovery has been very good and I was lucky that I didn't suffer much pain after the first week. Mr Dawe is a lovely kind and caring surgeon. The progress of the recovery has been monitored by subsequent appointments. I am very happy and grateful for his surgical skills.

From the initial appointment to the surgery to the follow up appointment after 6weeks Mr Dawe has been absolutely wonderful

It was a refreshing change to actually get to see a specialist who had time to listen & understand my issues. I got the appointment in a timely manner & found the hospital to have a very relaxed manner.
