Mr Farndon was recommended to me by a friend who had 2 x 1/2 knee replacements performed by him. I can do no more than pass on the same recommendation to anyone thinking of having a similar procedure. Mark and his team went about everything in a very professional manner helped by him being a very relaxed and personable surgeon. Thank you to them all plus the rest of the team at The Duchy in Harrogate

Today was latest of a number of attendance's to Mr Farndon’s clinic. I was greeted with a smile and firmness handshake, which are very important to me. Mr Farndon took time to explain clearly what the ongoing problems were and, equally clearly, the suggested next steps.

Mr Farndon saw me very quickly for something quite small, but I wanted to know the problem. At initial consultation he identified the issue, and got the MRI organised. After the scans came back, I was quickly booked in for a follow-up, where he gave me the results and advised on further actions. Happy know I know the problem and what I can do about it. Many thanks to Mr Farndon and his team.

I had an excellent experience with Mr Mark Farndon and would highly recommend him to anyone considering foot or ankle surgery. From my initial consultation through to the surgery and follow-up care, Mark was professional, approachable and reassuring. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered my questions and made me feel confident throughout the process. The surgery went very well, and I’ve been extremely pleased with my recovery so far. My foot is feeling significantly better, and I’m gradually returning to my normal day-to-day activities. I’d also like to thank Michelle and the wider team for their excellent care and support throughout. A fantastic surgeon and a genuinely positive experience from start to finish. Thank you!

My experience from Consultation through procedure and post op recovery has been excellent. I had a Chilectomy on my left foot and recovery has gone well. Mr Farndon was always patient and informative.

Mark is an excellent clinician and surgeon. His skills lie in knowing when not to operate as much as when to and I've always had excellent feedback from patients I've referred to him about his manner as well as his open and measured approach
