Reviews
I honestly cannot thank Mr taylor enough he has quite frankly given me my freedom back after almost 3 years of agony. Now im fully recovered i can confidently say i can go back to my hobbies of hiking and mountaineering with a trip to mont blanc booked already without him i would have given up all hope on returning to doing what i love.
My experience was very rewarding. Mr Taylor has a brilliant bedside manor. He is professional he explains everything and is very reassuring
Professional attitude, helpful and cannot fault. Lady doing the research survey also very helpful and CT happy with the service and professionalism
I have had a very professional and rewarding experience with Mr Taylor and his team. 3 months ago I had an ankle replacement because of deteriorating pain from arthritis. My journey was explained in great, easy to understand ,detail. My follow-up appointments were quick and reassuring including X-rays. I’m still limping a little , but Mr Taylor assured me that the slight swelling will go down and that it will take 6/9 months to recover full mobility. I am extremely pleased and Grateful. Thank you.
Mr Heath Taylor was very professional , understanding and to the point,
With regards to the surgery I couldn't have asked for better. My ankle/foot is now back to what it was like some years ago i.e. no pain or discomfort. I'm back to fully walking my dog for long walks in the New Forest which was virtually impossible before my operation. I'm really very pleased with the outcome so five stars for professionalism and surgical excellence. Some of my follow up appointments were postponed hence four stars for the overall experience but that doesn't detract from the superb clinical treatment I received.
Mr Heath Taylor has been brilliant. I was nervous about having foot surgery but he put my mind at rest and did a wonderful job. I can now look forward to getting back to playing sport and be pain free. I would highly recommend him he is a great surgeon. Thank you!
My visit today was very positive. Mr Heath was very thorough, professional and reassuring. It managed to ease all my anxiety
