Mr Richard Freeman

Dr.Freemann treated me over the past few years with care, compassion and listened to me completely. I trusted him fully and I am so happy with the outcome of the result. His bedside manner was courteous and he made me feel at ease. Thank you for everything you have done.

I have been fortunate enough to have Mr Freeman looking after my ankle problems over the last few years. I had surgery on one and was advised that the other did not require surgery. I am very pleased the problems I've experienced for many years have been dealt with. Prior to moving to this area my last doctors were not helpful at all. Mr Freeman and his staff have been really caring and sympathetic. Everything is clearly explained and i am not experiencing the pain i used to have.

Dr. Freeman operated on my left foot 11April 2024, and my right foot 7 October 2025 to repair damaged joints that had made walking extremely painful indeed. I have arthritis and fibromyalgia which had damaged my feet and was making every day a misery. My appointment today was a final check to see that everything is OK. I can honestly say that my treatment has been life changing. I am almost completely free of pain in my feet, pain reduced by at least 90% compared to what I was suffering pre-op. I made Dr Freeman aware of other issues I deal with daily basis in the form of an open letter that was placed in my medical file for each clinician to read prior to my appointments explaining my Anxiety, PTSD and Nosocomephobia. He and his staff acknowledged this and went above and beyond to make me feel at ease during pre and post surgery hospital visits. I was kept informed of what was being done and why, My treatment was fully explained, and I was even given a choice of Anesthesia procedures that best suited my condition. For once I was treated with respect and not made to feel like just another piece of meat. My Nosocomephobia was much easier to cope with thanks to their very kind understanding and empathy. I've been in a out of hospitals for many years and (until now) have found the experience to be very uncomfortable or even traumatising. Not so with Dr Freeman's treatment. I would recommended to any patient who suffers with Anxiety or other mental health conditions that aren't immediately obvious to note them down, and have the notes placed in their medical file so the clinicians are made aware and can treat them accordingly. I really am extremely grateful to Dr Freeman and his team for their excellent treatment, kindness and understanding.

I was referred to Mr Freeman for advise on a possible sesamoidectomy as I was having recurrent pain in my sesamoid bones. Eleven years previously a different surgeon had suggested he would remove them while I was having a bunion operation on the other foot. I am glad I declined at the time as Mr Freeman said the pain was caused by my calf muscles being too tight and showed me how to stretch them. That was three months ago and it is much better. Mr Freeman advised if the pain comes back just to do more stretches. That is so much better than having them removed , I was surprised and delighted with his advise. Mr Freeman did remove an old screw from the bunion operation that was protruding and hurt every so often. It was successful and I am back to normal now. Mr Freeman answered all my questions, going onto his computer to show me more detail. He was pleasant and patient. I would definitely use him again if I had further foot problems.

Mr Freeman is an excellent consultant and surgeon. A true expert in his field, very professional as well as being very warm, friendly and empathetic. This was my second surgery under his care and I have been very impressed by the results. At all times he thoroughly explained the issues I had, the process, the surgery and the next steps. I felt very safe and fully informed at all stages. A credit to his field. Thankyou.

Mr Freeman showed great understanding of my ankle Injury, was extremely proactive in getting it resolved.. 1 yr post -op I am extremely happy with the results. I have been cycling, running and playing padel with no ill effects. Amazing! Thank you.

I looked at Mr Freeman's profile. I very much liked what I saw. Coming from a medical family I appreciate the length, depth and application needed to achieve what he has I had a consultation with him which confirmed what I read. My gut sense told me he was a meticulous and talented doctor. Two friends, one of whom had undergone a similar operation to mine more than confirmed what I thought and felt. My foot is doing well, albeit boringly! Thank you Mr. Freeman

During my consultation with Mr Freeman I found him to be professional and knowledgeable as well as having strong interpersonal skills. Within minutes he’d offered me a diagnosis, prognosis and treatment plan which thankfully didn’t include surgery or medication, so I’m very happy. Anyone needing medical advice from an orthopaedic consultant I would strongly recommend Mr Freeman. He was also punctual which was great so I could return to work quickly.

He’s a very caring and professional consultant. He explained the procedure fully to me. The after care service was exceptional.

A very positive experience. Mr Freeman carried out ankle surgery under general anaesthetic. Everything was undertake ln with the minimum fuss, explained clearly, timely and great follow up. I would recommend highly
