Mrs Claire Freeman is professional, kind, and clear with patients. She gives clear details on foot problems and treatment plans. Patients feel calm and trust her surgical skill. Her care leads to resolved bunions, reduced foot pain, and good podiatric surgery results.
Lots of parking. Friendly welcome and everything explained clearly at each step of the process. Lovely consultant and very happy with my treatment so far. I would highly recommend Claire and the team.

Thank you for this review and your kind words. Sometimes it's the little things like parking and welcoming staff that contribute to an excellent experience
Dr Freeman was extremely professional and very reassuring when I attended a consultation about my foot for hallux rigidus. She quickly diagnosed the situation and explained the options available to me. The consultation was followed up very promptly with correspondence and appropriate follow up appointments. Excellent.

Thank you for highlighting the excellent admin processes we have, this is a credit to my fantastic secretary Michelle Lewis
Mrs Freeman gave me a clear understanding of my condition and the procedure required to remove the problem.

Thank you for this review - I always try to be very clear so I'm delighted you found me so
Listened carefully and discussed different treatment options.

This is so important and I'm really pleased that you understood that you had options about surgery - thank you for mentioning this
Calm and informative .

Wonderful - what can I say
I met with Ms Claire Freeman at New Hall Hospital in Salisbury to discuss a possible operation to remove a bunion. From the moment I arrived at reception the staff were lovely, helpful, smiling and professional. The hospital itself is in a green, leafy and peaceful location which adds to the feeling of calm generally. This is the first time I've met Ms Freeman, who will be the surgeon who operates on my foot. She was very approachable, friendly and calm, professional, informative, clear and very open about what to expect. At no point did I ever feel hurried. She has made me feel much less anxious at the thought of an operation, and she was refreshingly open and honest with her advice. I'm really pleased that the person I had the consultation with is the person who will do the surgery. I also met the team in the Radiology Dept and was met with the same calm, professional and friendly feeling. Based on my first visit and consultation today, I'd have no hesitation in recommending.

I'm humbled by this review - thank you, I will pass this message to my whole team
Helpful and informative about the issue, reassuring explanation about resolution required

Thank you this is a lovely review and I'm so pleased you are reassured and that I communicated well
considerate, helpful, professional, extremely knowledge and competent.

I'll take this 5 star review with gratitude
Approximately a year ago Mrs Freeman straightened a toe and removed a bunion for me. The experience was painless and therefore I was happy to approach her for a second toe procedure. After an X-ray Mrs Freeman decided to proceed with the same procedure on my other foot. Once again the procedure was explained and it wasn’t long before I went to theatre. I opted for local anaesthetic and Mrs Freeman administered the injection which was bearable. It wasnt long before I returned to my room and was able to return home in the next hour.

Thank you for this review. I love it when a patient feels confident to return to me for surgery and has another outstanding experience.
Upon my arrival I was greeted straight way by staff and was impressed by overall efficiency by everyone I saw. Any apprehensions I had about my procedure were totally and reassuringly dealt with and I can’t fault the whole experience today. Thank you!

Thank you for this review. This shows what great teamwork looks like

PodiatristAs 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.
