Explained conditions and options very clearly. On the day of procedure was reassuring and I felt in expert hands.

Mr.Freeman explained everything clearly to me before my operation and answered any questions that I had. He was very helpful in letting me know what I could and couldn't do when I was discharged, again answering all my questions. When I saw him at my outpatients appointments he was very encouraging and friendly, offering advice on what more I could do to facilitate my healing. A fine doctor.

Mr Freeman was hugely informative, patient and supportive. He gave me more time than any other consultant I've met and really used that time to understand my issue and views on this. I would highly recommend him to anyone and now wouldn't see any other consultant regarding lower leg issues.
I would also like to add that his secretary is absolutely first class as well. Very clear, efficient and friendly communication. Made things very easy and pleasant either side of the appointments.

I first met Mr Freeman to discuss issues with my ankle which turned out to be a damaged ligament. Prior to the surgery my ankle felt weak and was very painful at times. I cannot praise Mr Freeman enough, in fact I called him a magician! Following the procedure on the 16th of April I was able to walk out of the hospital, I used the medical boot for about two weeks and had crutches to help with my balance. Post surgery I didn’t feel any pain or discomfort at all. The ankle has healed really well and following my physiotherapy sessions is back to how it was. My physiotherapist let me know that patients with similar complaint who had a traditional procedure healed for slower and the rehabilitation took a lot longer. I would have no hesitation in recommending is Freeman, in fact I have already recommended him to my sister.

As Mr Freeman knows I have no complaints about him, have had two different surgeries under the care of Mr Freeman and both times I have been totally satisfied with the treatment I have received, his kind, caring gentle, and has a wonderful bedside manner which could put other surgeons to shame, they could learn a lot from this man, his very informative to the care he gives you and I would have no trouble recommending this surgeon to others wanting the same sort of surgery.
