I would highly recommend Mr Freeman.
He performed a left ankle arthroscopy, debridement of bone spurs and syndesmosis ligament reconstruction at Spire Tunbridge Wells.
From the first consultation and especially after an initial scan he inspired total confidence that the procedure would be successful. I can now say after 3 months my ankle is much stronger than before and I have no pain, which is a massive improvement from before.
He is very efficient and extremely personable. It was a pleasure to be cared for by him and the whole team.

I consulted Mr Freeman ecause of pain in my ankle which turned out to be a ruptured tendon. His initial advice was to have an MRI scan to make sure that there was no 'permanent' reason for the rupture (such as a bone spur). After the MRI, which showed no problems other than the tendon rupture, he expained the options open to me. In the end I agreed that surgery was not appropriate at this stage and decided to undertake the excercises Mr Freeman recommended to reduce the problems the ruptured tendon wa causing.
I liked Mr Freeman's clear and comprehensive explanation of both the problem and the options open to me, he did not try to persuade me that surgery was the best option.
My only, minor, criticism is that I hd to follow up on the MRI scan myself, I expected to be called for a feedback consultation as soon as the MRI results were available.

Update on my ligament repair on my ankle performed by Mr Freeman in November 2021. In May 2022 I won the Gatwick 5K for my age group - 60+, and knocked 2 minutes off of my P.B! Can't recommend him highly enough!
