Reviews
I had been suffering from constant pain in my ankle, having broken it 7 months before I met Mr Freeman.
He was very quick to work out exactly what the problem was and clearly explained my options.
6 weeks post surgery, my ankle has improved so much, it’s better than when I first met Mr Freeman and I can finally see an end to the pain.
Feel very lucky to have been under his expert care.
Grateful for the quick recovery.
I had restorative surgery on my achilles which had been repaired in 2016 and become infected. Mr Freeman knew immediately how to proceed, and explained clearly what an operation would or should entail. Sure enough the surgery was successful, leaving a very neat scar and, within a surprisingly short time, the feeling that I could once more make normal use of my leg. In short, Mr Freeman has exceeded my expectations and given me a real chance of a better quality of life, for which I remain grateful and extremely fortunate. Physio and hydrotherapy will no doubt cement this success, and I envisage conquering the world within a decade or so. Really very satisfied.
Mr Freeman was very open about my options, explaining everything in sufficient detail without blinding me with science, so I could understand my choices. The proceedure was quick and efficient and my recovery the same. I was kept informed all the way through the process and Mr Freeman was excellent.
Richard Freeman was very professional and explained things to me in a way I could fully understand. I am extremely pleased with the foot surgery he performed on me.
My experience whilst under the care with Mr Freeman was exceptional. He explained in detail the operation and postoperative care in a very clear and concise way. As a lay person I find hospitals a rather unnerving experience. All my questions and process of my recovery were explained in a kindly and careing manner.
