Mr H A Mann

Written by a private patient at The Royal Free Hospital

I would recommend Mr. Mann to anyone with a foot injury after my experience during the summer of 2022 and the professional and expert support I received from him at every step of my recovery. Mr Mann was my ortho specialist for a tendon repair in my foot, which was 100% severed. He’s very competent and quickly, yet thoroughly diagnosed the severity of my injury in my first appointment, explaining the pros/cons of having surgery and what the next steps would be. Due to the urgency of repairing the tendon (which the GP and A&E had errantly not identified) he was very efficient in scheduling my surgery within the week while also managing some additional pre-op specialist consultations due to complications I have with a clotting risk. While he ordered the necessary scans pre op, I appreciated that he used his own, regular examinations of my foot post op to assess how my tendon was regaining strength so that he could recommend the right amount of progress week on week without risking my recovery (e.g. 100% elevated to walking yet not weight bearing, to minimal, to partial, etc). I’m very happy to say that my tendon is fully repaired, courtesy of Mr. Mann’s surgical expertise – coming from a Surgeon’s family I can say that his suturing of my wound was top and the scar after 6 months is really minimal. Mr Mann is very well regarded, yet it was quick and easy to get appointments with him; his support team is wonderful and very efficient in coordinating all details from the surgery to post op follow up visits. Despite a full patient load, I always felt he took the time to answer all my questions, and I never felt rushed in my appointments. Lastly, his bedside manners are excellent – he really listens to his patient, explains things well and is empathetic. This makes him an all-around great doctor. Thank you so much Mr Mann, Tamsin

My 12 year old son was seen by Mr Mann after he fell off a scooter and fractured his elbow. Mr Mann operated on my son's elbow using metal strips that were later removed. After just 5 weeks my son is out of a cast and had his metal strips removed. The x-rays confirm that his bone has reconnected itself in the correct position. I am very happy with the standard of care that my son received and I would very much recommend Mr Mann to all other patience.

I visited Mr Mann due to pain in my right toe which I had broken many years previously. My toe was causing me discomfort when I walked and played sports and I went to see Mr Mann with the hope of having surgery to fix the issue. I am very happy with the whole process. Mr Mann explained the options available to me clearly and recommended surgery to treat my toe. I am very happy with the standard of care received. I was able to book in a surgery soon after the initial appointment and scans. Everything went really smoothly on the day of the surgery and I could not be happier with the level of care received. The procedure was a success and I received clear post op instructions for ensuring it healed as quickly as possible. I no longer have any pain in my toe and so am grateful for Mr Mann and his surgical expertise as the problem has been completely resolved. I found Mr Mann to be friendly and straightforward and I would recommend Mr Mann to friends and family for any lower limb surgery.

I became a liver transplant patient in 2012. The operation was so successful that I led a fully active life on the minimum medication for years. In December 2021, whilst travelling in Mexico I badly fractured my right ankle in 3 places while stepping off a bus. I was taken to a well regarded local private hospital where I underwent surgery conducted by a well respected orthopaedic trauma surgeon. At the time the surgery seemed to have been successful. However, after a few weeks, it became apparent that my ankle was not properly aligned, furthermore, the anti-inflammatory drugs and pain killers I had been prescribed had an adverse effect on my liver which led ultimately to the formative stages of liver rejection. The pain and discomfort in my ankle persisted and by February it was clear that I needed urgent medical attention for both my liver and my ankle. I was admitted to the Royal Free Hospital on February 28th and was immediately placed in the care of the Liver Consultants Team. After a few days I was visited by members of Mr Mann's orthopaedic trauma team, who were very keen to assist with my ankle. They agreed that since the passage of time had been so long since my original surgery, any chance of repair would need to be undertaken by someone highly skilled who specialised in such complicated surgery. They reccomended that Mr Mann himself would be my best chance. Because my liver was still unstable, it took several weeks before I was considered strong enough to undergo further surgery. By the time I was considered fit enough so much time had elapsed since my original surgery even Mr Mann expressed some doubt as to any kind of successful outcome. However, he was so kind and patient that he listened to my pleas and went through any possible procedures in great detail before finally agreeing to go ahead. So on April 8th Mr Mann and his team operated on my ankle, emplying various screws, metal plates and fusion techniques. I'm delighted to say now in mid July that the entire operation was a great success. Despite not being able to move my foot directly up and down, which Mr. Mann had advised me would be the case, I am able to walk without the aid of crutches and my foot is now set in the correct position. I feel so fortunate to have been in Mr Mann's care. He is a truly gifted surgeon who shows great compassion and wise judgement A sincere human being of the highest calibre and a great credit to the medical profession.
