Explanation

From initial consultation to post op the whole experience was very positive. The operation has been a good experience, the bunion correction gave me very little pain, which was managed well. I now find it has even helped my posture as I stand up straighter when walking. So I am thrilled & thoroughly reccomend Ms Freeman.

As part of my MSc in Sports Medicine I spent a several weeks shadowing different Sport and Orthopaedic consultants from across London and Southern England. The time I spent with Claire in her clinic and shadowing her theatre sessions was incredibly informative. I was thoroughly impressed with her skill and the professionalism and performance of her team. She is honest, forthcoming and highly skilled and I would have no issue recommending patients to her.
