About Mr Mark Farndon

Mr Mark Farndon is a Consultant specialising in Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery and is currently working for the NHS at Harrogate District Hospital.

Mr Farndon qualified from the University of Newcastle with a Distinction in 1998, before moving to Yorkshire in 2000 and then to Leeds and Bradford where he undertook his basic surgical training.

He completed 6 years of specialist training in orthopaedic surgery and a further 18 months training in foot and ankle surgery with fellowship-trained consultants. Furthermore, he completed and was awarded his FRCS(Tr & Orth) in 2007 and then developed a more specialist interest in arthroscopic knee surgery and knee arthroplasty during a 6-month fellowship.

He focuses on all aspects of foot and ankle conditions, including complex primary and revision surgery, arthroscopic knee surgery and knee replacement surgery (partial, total and robotic). He also treats foot deformities, arthrodesis of the foot and sports injuries. He is regularly involved in research and also presents lectures to students on foot and ankle conditions. He has also written many publications and has presented his research both nationally and internationally.

I presented with a very painful and swollen Achilles tendon, which had been an issue for some years, following decades of martial arts training on hard flooring. To try to avoid surgery, Mark suggested a non-invasive procedure, which worked well for some months but then the pain recurred. This time Mark suggested the least invasive procedure, keyhole surgery, which would give the best and quickest route to recovery. I cannot be happier with the outcome. The advice given, the professionalism of the care and the overall confidence around everything he does are trademarks of a Consultant at the very top of his profession. I truly feel that my health is, literally, in the very best of hands.

Had foot surgery (bone spurs removed)highly recommend surgeon/consultant who answered all questions before and after surgery plus at the follow up appointment,my foot’s a lot better but most importantly the initial pain has now gone,what a relief,in recovery time now which takes time but hopefully back to normal operation of the joint which I know does take a bit of time.

After a very comprehensive consultation with Mr Farndon, I decided to go for surgery (ankle ligament reconstruction). Throughout the consultations Mr Farndon was superb. He explained everything in a clear and concise manner, and put me at ease. Post op - I am so glad I had it done. My ankle feels a lot more stable and I now have more confidence with my mobility. I would highly recommend Mr Farndon for any lower limb, foot, ankle or knee surgery.

I have been extremely impressed with Mark Farndon! I sent a distressed SOS to his team while having waited 10 months in the NHS with no appointment on the horizon. Mark took the time on a Friday evening to address my concerns, offering to take a look at the private MRI I had had done to give me his thoughts. He asked for no money to do this. Within 2 weeks I'd had my total knee replacement with him. I am absolutely thrilled with the results and 5 weeks post op am going about my life like nothing has happened!
