Thankyou for your kind words. You are my 200th 5star review and I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. I'm so happy I am able to help you.
David came highly recommended by an orthopaedic specialist. The consultation was extremely thorough and very helpful to explain structural imbalances which were impacting my running. David came up with a comprehensive plan to correct the issues and I look forward to working with him
I have visited David on a number of occasions and always found him professional, helpful and congenial. He takes a lot of care in assessing the issues and finding the right solution. Highly recommended
I found David to be very friendly and helpful, as he has always been at previous appointments. He is happy to answer any questions that I have raised about my treatment. Appointments are relaxed and there is never any feeling of being rushed.
Incredibly professional, provided in-depth examination and explanation. After one session, I was able to fully step on my left feet, helped to reduce pain level and gave working recommendations 👍🏻
David was excellent in my appointment - very thorough and knowledgable and explained everything well.
This was my first appointment with David, and I had a truly excellent experience. From the start, I felt it was worth every single penny. He took the time to carefully review my history and really listened to my concerns, which made me feel heard and valued. The assessment was very thorough, and he explained clearly what was going on and what the next steps would be, in a way that was easy to understand. I would highly recommend David. It’s not often you come across someone who genuinely enjoys their work and takes such care in making you feel comfortable and well looked after.
I had a consultation with David after being referred for stress reactions in my feet causing pain for many years now and limiting my ability to exercise. David took the time to understand my history and explained to me clearly what he suspected was causing the problems. I felt very comfortable speaking with David and he was very reassuring about working together to find a solution. Would highly recommend David to others.
David is a wonderfully detailed and experienced colleague who patients and colleagues work well with. I greatly value his input on the cases we have worked together on and recommend to patients regularly
