Denise is a kind, caring and compassionate professional. We feel in the best hands with her and couldn’t be more grateful to have met her. Thank you Denise for everything you have done for us and our daughter.
Denise is the reason we have confidence and hope with our son's club foot. She is an indispensable ally with all the knowledge we need. We couldn't imagine this journey without her.
Denise has treated two of my children, both of whom were born with bilateral talipes, and the difference she has made to their lives has been truly remarkable. Thanks to her exceptional care and expertise, both now have completely corrected feet and lead full, active lives, enjoying a wide range of sports without any limitations. We will always be incredibly grateful for everything she has done for our family. I really couldn’t recommend Denise more highly.
I’ve been bringing my 6yo daughter to see Denise for the last couple of years. Her knowledge and experience are beyond anyone I’ve met. Let’s just say she knows her stuff!! She is one of the most lovely people we get to see and I fully trust her thoughts and advice. We are so happy to know her and are so very grateful for her guidance.
Denise was superb, both in correspondence leading up to and after the consultation and clinically during the assessment. Would highly recommend.
Our visit to see Denise was excellent, as always. It’s quite a journey for my daughter but Denise immediately put her at ease. We came away with exactly what we needed and I feel very fortunate to have access to her level of expertise.
Denise is amazing and her world-leading expertise has been instrumental in helping our family understand and manage our son’s clubfoot.
We were impressed with Denise the moment we met her. It is clear that she is vastly experienced and an expert in her field. She had a delightfully warm, friendly manner and was truly emphatic to our situation, making what could have been a traumatic experience much more bearable. The treatment she devised for us has been life changing for our daughter and we would thoroughly recommend her to anyone
No words can explain how incredible Denise is. We were so worried when we found out our little boy had Talipes and she has been truly incredible the whole of the journey. We’re 5 months in and so happy with how it’s going. Denise is the best!
