Reviews
Mr. Freeman listened really carefully to everything I had to say and did everything he could do get me back to training ASAP. He is very friendly and answered all my questions, and my treatment has been really successful.
Great surgeon I felt in good hands all the way can not thank him enough for all his time and work
I can't fault the efficiency, every single nursing and reception staff and my consultant, Mr Richard Freeman, enough ....I've had my fair share of hospital procedures (being accident prone !) - and whilst I hope I won't have to revisit the Nuffield, Haywards Heath - I know it would definitely calm me if I had to go back there compared to anywhere else I have been !! I am actually transferring my NHS referral for a completely different operation there if possible ... says it all ! Thank you to everyone there ... operation a total success and the experience 10/10 !
I was referred to Mr Freeman from my doctor/private health scheme. I am 49 years old and my particular situation was a result of having club feet from birth where corrective surgery at the time allowed me to live a normal life, but years of walking over on the sides of my feet, eventually lead to pain and suffering in my left foot and no ability to play any sport. Mr Freeman diagnosed me and carried out surgery to re-position my ankle bone and repair damaged ligaments. Eight months following surgery and having regular consultations, I am now signed off as a patient, feel no pain and are getting fit to play sport again. During his care, Mr Freeman was very honest about my options and risks with such an abnormal foot, but he was always confident in that my situation would be improved, and he was proved right! Would highly recommend using his services.
Mr Freeman was very attentive. The operation went very smoothly and healed in no time at all. Very pleased with how I was treated.
