I had bi-lateral foot surgery performed by Mark Farndon in late January and the procedures and follow up care have been truly excellent. The results of the complex surgery performed have been remarkable and I am now pain free for the first time in years! Thank you so much for your skill and professionalism, this is really life changing for me!
Mr Farndon was very thorough in his examination. Mr Farndon was clear in his diagnosis and imparting suggestions towards achieving a full recovery.
Very pleased with my consultation today, Mr Farndon took the time to listen to me fully, explained himself very clearly and completely put my mind at ease. Would highly recommend.
I’d been dealing with ongoing heel pain for a while, and it was really starting to impact both my day-to-day life and my ability to stay active. After having surgery with Mr Farndon, I can honestly say the whole experience has been excellent from start to finish. He was professional, reassuring, and clearly very knowledgeable throughout. He took the time to explain everything properly, which made me feel confident in the plan from the outset. The surgery went smoothly, and my recovery has been better than expected — I’m already ahead of schedule with my return to play, which I’m really pleased about. The improvement in both my pain and mobility has been significant, and I feel like I’m finally getting back to where I want to be. I’m very grateful for the care I received and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone dealing with similar issues.

I recently had surgery for a partial knee replacement which was carried out by Mr. MARK farndon at The Duchy Hospital Harrogate. I was given excellent care and treatment by Mr.Farndon. He listened carefully to what I said and gave me excellent advice. The hospital offers very good follow up work and after care post surgery.
