Reviews
Following a bad fall I required a second operation on my ankle. Mr Freeman did an outstanding job, he is no doubt a brilliant surgeon. I cannot speak too highly of his care and ability.
What a very pleasant and personable man who gives you a very detailed explanation of what the problem is and the best way to rectify it. Took plenty of time to show the problems via x-rays on his computer. Had complete confidence in him and would certainly recommend him to anyone with foot problems. Thank you for your help.
Having walked in increasing undiagnosed pain for 4 months after first sustaining the injury to my foot, I was delighted when Mr Freeman diagnosed the problem quickly: he listened to my concerns over having surgery immediately (although with hindsight, I should have taken his advice at that point!). He then helped me through subsequent surgery and recovery. 7 months on, I am now mostly recovered (the rest of the recovery will just take time). I am very grateful for his care and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone with a similar problem
If you need an orthopaedic surgeon Richard Freeman should be your go to, after many years of debilitating pain in my left ankle with Richard Freeman's expert analysis and guidance I had a sub-talar fusion and ligament reconstruction.
While the fusion was a significant step after discussing the various options with Richard Freeman I decided that this was best for me. This decision was made easier with the knowledge, having read other reviews, that I was in very capable hands.
Three months after surgery I am back on my feet, pain free, with more movement than I had anticipated, minimal scarring and excited for a future without the limitations of my pre-op condition.
I thoroughly recommend Richard Freeman to anyone needing an orthopaedic surgeon, he is highly skilled, expert in his subject, totally professional and a great ambassador for patient centred care.
For many years I suffered with Achilles pain, thankfully I was referred to Richard Freeman and elected to have surgery.
Mr Freeman was very easy to talk to and was very clear explaining the procedure and recovery process. I can’t thank the chap enough as I am so pleased with the outcome and pain free!
