Professional great knowledge reassuring

Miss Kohls was clear on her findings and took the necessary time to explain

Mr Smith was warm and welcoming, able to listen (which sounds simple but you'd be surprised how many can't), discussed the issues and options available, and quickly came up with a plan which I was happy to follow

I cannot fault my experience, very thorough investigation, quickly seen,very informative about the procedure. Friendly approach, made sure I understood everything and gave me the opportunity to ask questions.

David Gordon’s excellent surgical skills and passion for his field combined with his kind, down-to-earth nature make him a gem of a consultant. I felt in very safe hands throughout my bunion treatment and I would not hesitate to recommend him, his team, and the minimally-invasive technique. I have a family history of bunions and although I’ve had them on both feet since I was a teenager, they only began to trouble me in the last couple of years. My symptoms included shooting pains and soreness and a burning sensation when walking, preventing me from walking long distances and wearing several pairs of shoes. Having heard colleagues’ stories of challenging recoveries following open bunion surgery, I researched the minimally-invasive technique and came across David who I first saw in summer 2017. At the age of 35 and with a five and two-year old at home, there was never going to be a ‘good’ time to have surgery and we decided upon an initial treatment of wider, softer shoes. David, however, explained from the outset that bunions are a progressive problem which worsen over time and given mine were already quite progressed for my age, surgery would be the best option if my symptoms continued. And sure enough, they did, getting progressively worse over the following year. I decided to go ahead with surgery on both feet in October 2018 to avoid two separate six-week recovery stints. I felt the surgery went very well. Both David and his anaesthetist explained everything clearly at the pre-, during and post-op stages so I felt informed as to what to expect. I was able to go home after a few hours recovering and only really experienced pain for the first two-three days following my surgery. This was effectively controlled with take-home medication. Any questions I had following surgery were swiftly answered with follow up phone calls from David’s team and the anaesthetist. Having my husband and children away for half term meant I was able to put my feet up (quite literally) for a week and tried to follow David’s ‘Post-Operative Rehab Protocol’ to the letter. This rest and following the exercises helped me recover quickly with minimal swelling after just a couple of weeks. Given the amount of correction David had performed, I continued to wear a wedge boot until 6-weeks post-op, at which stage I had no pain or swelling, was back in my normal shoes and back at the gym. Around the 3-month post-surgery mark, I did experience pain again in one foot. David was thorough in investigating straight away and after a couple of weeks resting the foot and walking in a boot, the pain had completely gone. Now six months post-surgery, my tiny incisions are almost hard to spot, I can do every single toe and foot movement I could wish, have no pain at all when walking or at the gym and I can wear any shoes I choose – including eight-inch heels if I want (David’s words, not mine!) David’s PA, Helen provided an excellent service throughout. She is very approachable and organised and alongside Alison and Claire in the office, the team were always on hand to answer any questions. I am so happy with the result of surgery, and amazed at the effectiveness of the minimally invasive technique. Thank you!
