Reviews
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.

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!

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.
