Mr Jason Eyre

Jason corrected bunions on both feet, inner & outer bunions on each foot. He explained both the procedure and post op recovery very clearly and there point, so I fully understood what to expect. Everything was exactly as he stated, if not better.

Having lived with a big toe injury for 30 years, I decided the 'it'll be right' approach wasn't working and it was time to see if anything could be done whilst I'm still fit and healthy. I love sport with Golf being my one true-love. If any procedure would protect my ability to maintain an active lifestyle and to play Golf for the next 30 years then it would be worth it. Right from the off, Mr Eyre made a professional and personal connection, which put me at ease and explained in a very simple, yet detailed way, what procedure was required (Big Toe Fusion) and associated recovery period. Mr Eyre and the entire staff at Methley Park Hospital were nothing short of phenomenal. From admission the morning of the operation, right through to being discharged the same day the staff were warm, welcoming and knowledgeable. I am now 6-weeks post operation and completely back to normal life. I will admit that there were times that I nearly didn't go through with the procedure. I'm too busy, someone's birthday, I can live with it etc etc. The fact is that you'll always find a reason to say NO. For anyone in anything like a similar position - JUST DO IT and if you get the choice, I'd highly recommend Mr Eyre and the team at Methley Park Hospital.

I've been a patient of Jason 3 times in 8 years and every time I've seen him the care has been exceptional. First surgery was to complete an ATFL reconstruction after I tore the ligament in half...with a follow up nerve release 18 months later. My latest surgery was elective and I knew exactly who to speak to because of my previous 2 surgeries with Jason. 8 weeks ago I had my other ankle ATFL recon, plus bone spur removed, arthroscopy and nerve release; I'm clearly a frequent flier. Jason takes the time to explain what the issue is, the best way to solve the issue and doesn't sugar coat what is needed to fully recover, and this is so refreshing. He's warm and friendly and tells you what you need to know. Thank you so much so putting me back together (again)!

I have recently had my second Total Ankle Replacement under the care of Mr Jason Eyre, the first one, my left was 5 years ago, I was 75 at the time. I had excellent care from the whole team, my recovery was straightforward and I was soon back to travelling and fully enjoying life. I was shocked that after the surgery I had very little or NO pain, even from the outset. I had my Right Total Ankle Replacement 13 weeks ago, once again wonderful treatment from the whole team, I am 90% back to my normal, getting about, painfree, good mobility and looking forward to travelling again. On both occasions I was very much involved in the planning of my surgery, Mr Eyre was always happy to discuss the situation with me and my wife, even seeing me in Out patients when I had more questions to ask. He was like a friend, cheerful but always very Professional. I am very happy to write this review in the hope it will give confidence to other patients who could benefit from this type of surgery, because not many people have heard of it or know someone who has had it done. I couldn't recommend it or my surgeon Mr Jason Eyre. My only comment on improving the service would be to try and give patients a timeframe for their surgery, especially important at my age, 6 months, 9 months even 12 months or more would give patients the opportunity to live and plan their lives as best they can. I realise that waiting lists are what they are but some idea of timeframe would be so very very helpful.

Mr Jason Eyre has operated on me 3 times now with complete success, twice on my right ankle after breaking my tib and fib resulting in a complete new replacement ankle with has been fantastic and after 5 years it’s still pain free with total movement . He had just operated on my left foot having areas of gout in my big toe and small toe which now I am pain free with total movement back in my foot and been able to use my normal sized foot ware . These two procedures have made a great impact on the quality of my life he is a fantastic surgeon and would not hesitate to recommend any body to him .

I saw Mr Eyre in March 2024 as I was having pain in my ankle; he requested an MRI scan. The MRI report showed I had an Osteochondral lesion. Mr Eyre explained my options, he explained everything in detail but also made it very easy for me to understand. Mr Eyre gave me all the information I needed to make a decision and I went away to think about it. After reading about the various options I decided on the Auto cart procedure. Mr Eyre explained this procedure in great detail that was very easy for me to understand and I had every confidence in his abilities. Mr Eyre performed my surgery at Methley Park hospital on 5th August 2024. I was looked after very well by everyone at the hospital and I was discharged later that day. I was discharged with a walker boot and crutches and advised to be non weight bearing for 2 weeks. To be honest this was the worst part for me but it was well worth me following all the advice to a T as 6 weeks post op I am boot free and walking well! I am attending physio appointments and am well on the way to regaining full movement in my ankle. I am looking forward to my next appointment with Mr Eyre on 1st November.

Mr Eyre performed surgery on my foot on Jan 15th 2024 to remove a bunion. I was just discharged yesterday, 26th Feb, with the bone knitting, my foot looks great. The information I received pre-operatively was very clear, although being advised I needed to be off my feet for 2 weeks post operatively was a bit daunting. In fact I didn't really feel like getting up anyway during those 2 weeks, my daughter cared for me at her home as I live alone. Once I was home and doing my own meals and bed making etc. I was very happy to sit with my foot raised as there was more pain when my foot swelled, which it did quickly when I was on my feet. it was a bit frustrating, but worth following the instructions as pain was minimal. I was prescribed Codeine for pain management, however I didn't need it, paracetamol and ibuprofen were sufficient. The surgery has been successful and my right foot looks like it should! The advice regarding post surgery recovery was very clear and after 6 weeks of crutches and a boot I am able to walk with minimal discomfort for a short while, then I need to get my foot elevated. My foot is still swollen and I can't wear some of my shoes, but trainers are fine. Mr Eyre has advised that the swelling will gradually reduce, but having my foot elevated when I can will help it repair. Mr Eyre has done a great job and is an easy person to talk to, ask questions of etc.

I suffered for many years with a very troublesome right ankle. Having previously been extremely fit and sporty, I gradually became less and less so. I was in more and more pain and gained more weight, which added to my loss of self esteem. I still rode horses, and went ski touring, but struggled with the pain and ability to fully live life to the full. I had 2 surgeries which didn't solve the problem and eventually my ankle surgeon referred me, in April 2023, to Mr Eyre. By that time, I was struggling to walk- I was trying to put a brave face on things but each morning I would be in tears at the thought of having to put my 'bad' foot on the ground. I was ready to have the lower right leg amputated as quite honestly life wasn't worth living as it was. I was in a bad way (although I did hide it!). Mr Eyre talked to me about my options, including the MaioRegen Patch. He pulled no punches about how hard it would be and how important it would be to follow the rehab regime. I saw it as an opportunity to get my old life back so jumped at the chance. Prior to the operation I did all that I could to get ready- I made sure that my core was as strong as it could be, and despite the pain, I made sure I had 100% range of movement in the right ankle. I knew that would give me the best chance coming out of the surgery in a good place. The operation was on 12 October 23. Mr Eyre warned me that there would be a lot of pain and to ignore it and carry on with the rehab exercises after a 2 week period of 'tea and toast' on the sofa and that is exactly what I did. I followed his instructions to the letter- even though the exercises made me want to throw up, or pass out. I knew they were in my best interests. Now ( almost 2 months later) I am off my crutches, relatively pain free (and in so much less pain than before the surgery). I am following the rehab regime. I am walking, working towards driving my car again, and looking forwards to going skiing at the end of this month (albeit on gentle slopes !). I hope to get riding my horse again in the new year and am building up to go ski touring in the Arctic in April. Yes, the ankle is stiff- I would say I have 90-95% range of movement now. It is weak, but getting stronger as I do the exercises. There is some pain, after I do the exercises, but nothing that I cant handle, and it wears off when I ice the ankle. The worst part of the recovery? Not being able to have a bath until I was able to be free of the protective boot and stand safely on the 'bad' leg. Not such a big deal. The pain was worst when the foot was vertical, no real pain when it was horizontal- despite the warnings about pain, I was off strong painkillers after 4 days, and just coped with paracetomol. I think the main lessons I learned were- prepare fully by getting as much movement into the ankle as you can before the operation, then follow the instructions to the letter afterwards- there were lots of days when I didn't want to do the rehab but the reason to do it (full recovery) was far stronger than the reason not to and I am reaping the benefit now. I am so glad I didn't waste the opportunity Mr Eyre gave me- his surgery is amazing and ground breaking and I am very grateful that I was able to benefit from it. I hope this review of 'my journey so far' helps others about to under go the same treatment.

Mr Eyre listened to me when I told him the problems I was having with my ankle after another hospital trust had said nothing else could be done. I have 2 debridement operations and steroid injections done by him which resulted in me having much needed relieve from pain.

I am an ex-runner with ongoing Achilles’ tendon problems. I have had quite a bit of physiotherapy which only ever seemed to provide temporary relief. I had reached the point where anything more than a fairly short walk had the potential to cause me difficulties. I was referred to Mr Eyre, who recommended I undergo debridement of both tendons. Mr Eyre fully explained the condition and the procedure. He recommended that I should undergo the procedure one foot at a time, with at least a six month gap between. I was a bit disappointed by this but having gone through one procedure I am pleased both were not undertaken at once. One foot is done and although the ongoing problem in the other foot prevents me fully testing the results of the first procedure, the foot looks and feels to be recovering well and I am pleased with the way things have gone. Mr Eyre will be undertaking the procedure on the other foot in the near future.
