Mr Richard Freeman

Written by a private patient at Spire Tunbridge Wells Hospital

I first met Mr Freeman to discuss issues with my ankle which turned out to be a damaged ligament. Prior to the surgery my ankle felt weak and was very painful at times. I cannot praise Mr Freeman enough, in fact I called him a magician! Following the procedure on the 16th of April I was able to walk out of the hospital, I used the medical boot for about two weeks and had crutches to help with my balance. Post surgery I didn’t feel any pain or discomfort at all. The ankle has healed really well and following my physiotherapy sessions is back to how it was. My physiotherapist let me know that patients with similar complaint who had a traditional procedure healed for slower and the rehabilitation took a lot longer. I would have no hesitation in recommending is Freeman, in fact I have already recommended him to my sister.

As Mr Freeman knows I have no complaints about him, have had two different surgeries under the care of Mr Freeman and both times I have been totally satisfied with the treatment I have received, his kind, caring gentle, and has a wonderful bedside manner which could put other surgeons to shame, they could learn a lot from this man, his very informative to the care he gives you and I would have no trouble recommending this surgeon to others wanting the same sort of surgery.

I’m so very grateful to Mr Freeman. I thought my life would be changed forever after the accident. The excellent care and support I received has meant that I can return to life as normal. I don’t know what I would have done without him and his expertise. If he is willing to share his address, I would like to send him a thank you card and gift basket for helping me. Thanks you Mr Freeman. I am deeply indebted. Andrew McPherson

I had keyhole surgery to correct quite a painful bunion on my left foot in March 2020 before we went into lockdown. I went back to have the pin removed in Oct 2020 and have the bone of the joint shaved down a little more. Being a fitness professional I was anxious due to the horror stories I had heard and people advising me not to go ahead. However, my experience with Mr Freeman reassured me that I had made the right decision. Mr Freeman is very experienced, skilled, attentive and reassuring. He listens to the patient and develops a rapport with them too. Lauren, his PA, is also super and really efficient. The second operation, was such a quick recovery I walked out of the hospital that night. I must also add that we had an excellent anaesthetist for the October 20 surgery, Mr Perelo. I felt no nausea or ill affects after the anaesthetic. I now have excellent flexibility in my left foot. I am even retraining my feet to run in barefoot shoes, which would not have been possible previously due to the pain in my first metatarsal. Thank you Mr Freeman and team!
