Reviews
I saw Mr Freeman following a complete rupture of my achilles tendon. He was extremely informative, professional and clear on the treatment route (non surgical) and explained the exercises I needed to do. He reviewed the treatment plan I had been given by the NHS and advised how to improve on it. I saw him for a follow up to check the tendon length 5 weeks later.
At both appointments he gave me all the time I needed to ask lots of questions and understand my injury and how to recover from it without further injury.
So glad I spent the money on these 2 appointments, Mr Freeman has given me the confidence to accelerate my recovery much faster and stronger than would have been possible if I had stuck to my NHS care plan. I saw the physio yesterday and they were amazed at the progress i have made so far. I cannot recommend Mr Freeman highly enough. Thank you!
An amazing operation with great results - so far. It will take at least 6 months to look 'normal' apparently. No pain just discomfort for the first few weeks. I would advise anyone to have the bunion operation under the care of Mr Freeman.
I highly recommend Mr Freeman. He performed a ligament reconstruction on my ankle at Gatwick Spire. From the first consultation he inspired total confidence that the procedure would be successful. He is super efficient and extremely personable. It was a pleasure to be cared for by him and the whole team.
He is a amazing guy and surgeon he sorted me out , I had two replacement joints in my feet which has been causing me problems for many years. What a nice man . Thankyou
Mr Freeman, showed kindness and compassion to me during my three appointments. He was very positive in his approach and I'm delighted to report that the steroid injection in my ankle was a great success - thank you! I highly recommend him to all.
