After an increase in pain these past few years from an unsightly, large bunion and a lifetime of deformed shoes, I finally sought help from my GP and was referred to Mr Kunasingam. From the first visit he made clear the procedure (which was to be keyhole surgery), the recovery time and the stages of recovery, which were surprisingly quick. Three small pins were to be inserted and part of the bone shaved off using 5 small stab like incisions. Surgery itself was under an hour and I was able to return home on the same day - weight bearing with use of a crutch. Following clear instructions to keep my foot elevated for several hours of the day, recovery was as quick as advised, despite my getting the bandage wet and having to have it changed! 3 months on there is minute scarring - lessoning all the time with continued massage as instructed. Staff at Epsom clinic (SWLEOC) and Mayday were all extremely helpful and pleasant at each visit. Mr Kunasingam is undoubtedly an extremely competent surgeon , but he is also incredibly cheerful and positive. Having for years listened to horror stories surrounding bunion surgery, I am so grateful that he carried out my mine. I cannot recommend highly enough him as a consultant/surgeon or this procedure.
