Reviews
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.
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
