I heard so much regarding bunion surgery how painful it could be after the operation but the keyhole surgery was excellent very little pain at all.

I recently had Minimally invasive surgery on my toe and bunion and was back in my trainers after 2 weeks and well on the way to recovery thanks to Mr Freeman and his team .Would highly recommend Mr Freeman as he is very attentive , explains everything in such detail and performs minimally invasive foot surgery which enables a much quicker recovery.

I had the 2nd toe on my right foot straightened in June 2018 by and 2nd toe on my left foot August 2020 by Dr Freeman. My experiences were very different. I had a pin inserted into the toe on my left foot by Mrs Selth. This surgery was fine, but I had to have the pin in for 6 weeks and it took about 6 months before I was able to wear shoes due to the prolonged swelling. It was also very painful post surgery and I was instructed to walk the day after my surgery, and gradually increase the time over the first few days/weeks. I had to have the stitches removed the same time as the pin. Although my toe is now straight I can't bend it.
Surgery on my left foot was completely different. Dr Freeman did not correct my hammer toe by inserting a pin. I didn't have any stitches and had little or no pain following the procedure. I was told to rest my foot as much as possible and there was very littles swelling of my foot. I was able to wear flat shoes 4 weeks post surgery at which time I returned to work (I am a teacher so I was walking around the school to teach my lessons due to Covid restrictions). I highly recommend this form of corrective surgery.

After fracturing my wrist I was seen by Mr Freeman in the Fracture Clinic at Pembury Hospital. Although he initially recommended surgery, I was keen not to go down that route. Mr Freeman listened to me and went on to manipulate my wrist. After the cast was removed I was reviewed by Mr Freeman and my wrist seems to have mended well. Mr Freeman was pleasant and professional at all times and I liked his fuss-free approach. I would recommend him and am confident that my wrist will continue to improve with time.

This was a relaxed and easy consultation; I felt entirely confident in Mr Freeman's opinion; his advice was comprehensive and options clearly outlined.
