Lovely lady. Made me feel at ease straight away. Punctual for each appointment.
Miss Thomson explained my options fully and clearly prior to my ankle fusion. So far my recovery is preceding very well and i am looking forward to walking properly again and participating in my sporting activities again.
A straight forward procedure explained from start to finish, excellent care provided during and after operation x excellent service throughout
An amazing physician who truely understands your issues and can offer a way forward. Personable and clear thank you
Very thorough with clear explanations. Felt very well looked after throughout the process. I am thankful to have had the surgery on my foot as prior to having the lump removed I was in a lot of pain, I would visit the cinema/theatre/restaurants and have to remove my shoe/boot due to the intense pain I was in. I would recommend having the surgery. I wish I had have had the surgery sooner. I can now wear the shoes I want too. Throughout the surgery I was well looked after and informed throughout the process checking that I was okay.
Miss Thomson gave very clear instructions and advice for my ongoing rehabilitation. I found her pleasant polite and professional
Lauren As been nothing but professional since meeting her in my first consultation, feeling quite nervous on the thought of having surgery on my left foot. We were reassured that everything would be fine when to expect the worse pain & what to do post surgery. I am truly amazed at the result the outcome is fantastic. I would recommend anybody to speak to Lauren if you are considering having a proceedure on a foot she will definitely make you feel at ease & explain the process from start to finish.
Friendly professional manner, runs on time clear explaination of surgery and next steps Had surgery in Jan 2026 for removal of ganglion cyst from my left ankle. I have recovered really well, followed the instructions for post op recovery as clearly explained so easy to execute. I am very happy I had the surgery, the symptoms I’ve had for over a year have now gone away and I’m pleased I can now get back to running.
Wish I had done it years ago. You're never too old. It's definitely worth doing. Lovely Doctor, best one I've seen and did an excellent job
