Mr Richard Freeman 2021-10-25 Person 5 5 0

I visited Mr Freeman as a private patient after false diagnosis by GP and A & E. I was suffering with a right big toe bunion and bone spur which over time became very debilitating. It also resulted in ligament damage in my outer ankle, right foot, and was impacting on being able to use my left foot. My feet were constantly painful, often swollen. Sometimes I was unable to weight-bear at all and was having to keep my feet evaluated for days. It was such a relief to be correctly diagnosed. Mr Freeman advised a right keyhole bunion correction. He reassured me that my condition was completely ‘fixable’. Many people (friends and relatives) advised me against having the surgery saying that the procedure was very painful and that I would be in so much pain post op and recovery would be protracted. I had the operation on 1st September 2021 and immediately felt like a new woman. I was able to fully weight-bear on leaving hospital using the flat shoe provided by the hospital and physiotherapist. I had NO pain after the surgery. Within 3 weeks I was in training shoes and by week 4 I was back in the gym – something I thought I would never be able to do again! The keyhole correction has revolutionized the procedure of bunion correction. Keyhole has shortened the recovery time, and honestly there was no pain post-surgery. Mr Freeman is an expert who has completely changed my life, allowing me to do all the things I couldn’t previously: walking the dogs, exercising, dancing. But more importantly allowed me to enjoy my life again and be completely pain free. I would recommend Mr Freeman to anyone, a genius!
