Mr James was outstanding. His examination of my problem with my ankle was extremely thorough and I was in awe at his immediate understanding and diagnosis of my problems and the subsequent recommendations for treatment. Highly recommended.
Hugely knowledgable, diagnosis of the issue was extremely thorough - Mr James explained every aspect of my Achilles/Bursa issue so clearly including most importantly, the treatment next steps. The whole experience was positive & reassuring. Every aspect of the consultation was excellent - hence the rating!
Delighted so far, really caring and knowledgeable doctor
Very quickly and clearly diagnosed and explained my issue, and what I should do about it
Very polite and helpful person. Took the time to explain exactly what was going on with my ankle and the treatment schedule. Clearly a very experienced surgeon.
A very polite, helpful and considerate person. During the consulatation he was excellent at showing me, via a plastic model, the issue with my ankle. He also told me of another couple of issues do with my feet that was very useful. A CT scan was requested and what I liked, was the way he explained what that would show him.
