AI Review Summary
This summary was created by AI based on recent reviews
Mr David Redfern is professional and gives excellent care. He eases patient anxieties and provides plain explanations of treatment options. Patients find successful surgery results and quick recovery offer improved mobility and pain relief. His expertise is noted for bunion correction, foot arthritis, and minimally invasive foot and ankle surgery.
I would rate the whole experience 10/10. Being a patient can be daunting; however, my first consultation with David Redfern helped ease my anxieties and addressed all of my concerns.
Everything was made very easy with the clinic and Dr Redfern in particular. The post care from staff was very thorough and nothing was too much trouble. The op was very successful despite another surgeon’s more invasive recommendation and the post surgery healing was very quick and easy. Would highly recommend the clinic and most importantly Dr Redfern.
Overall an excellent experience with Mr Redfern. He did not rush me to surgery as a first option. Rather, he explained surgery should be a last resort after all other options were fully explored. Having done so, he then succinctly and clearly guided me through the surgical procedure, risks and likely outcomes. Six months on from the surgery I am very pleased with the outcome. I am ambulatory again and without pain. A very satisfactory outcome all round from excellent care.
David has been a fantastic consultant from the outset and all the way through the process. Very well explained and supported through the pre and post op process.
Dr David Redfern is the best. So glad I found him and the fine facility of Cleveland Clinic.
Mr Redfern is professional, kind and patient. I was very happy with the whole process and the results of my foot surgery have been excellent. At 9 weeks, I have been able to resume most of my regular activities without any of the intense pain I was experiencing before. Thank you Mr Redfern
I had surgery with Mr Redfern to treat arthritis in my big toes on both feet, and couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. The care at the Cleveland Clinic was first class throughout. I had previously seen another surgeon who didn’t inspire confidence, but Mr Redfern was the complete opposite—knowledgeable, professional, and authoritative. From the outset, I felt completely reassured. At every stage, I knew I was in safe hands. I’m very grateful for the care I received and would highly recommend Mr Redfern.
I couldn’t have asked for better care throughout my appointments leading up to, during and after surgery.
