About Mr Richard Freeman
Mr Richard Freeman is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon specialising in foot and ankle surgery, with particular expertise in minimally invasive and arthroscopic techniques. His practice covers a wide range of foot and ankle conditions, including bunions, arthritis, deformities, sports injuries and complex trauma.
Following his medical training in London, Mr Freeman undertook orthopaedic training in the South East before completing specialist fellowships in foot and ankle surgery and trauma. His foot and ankle fellowship provided advanced training in arthroscopic and minimally invasive surgery and involved treating elite athletes, including Premiership football and rugby players and Olympic athletes. He subsequently developed further experience in complex lower-limb trauma through a fellowship at a Major Trauma Centre.
Minimally invasive surgery is a particular focus of Mr Freeman's work, and he uses keyhole techniques across a broad range of foot and ankle procedures, including bunion and deformity correction, fusion surgery and arthroscopy. His expertise in these techniques has also led to teaching and lecturing roles in the UK and internationally.

Reviews
Mr Freeman is an excellent and experienced orthopaedic consultant who provided me with first class rapid treatment for a complex ankle fracture, which has resulted in a positive outcome. His highly professional work, together with the team around him, remedied previous delays in treatment (by others) which risked a pathway to a far less satisfactory situation. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Freeman to patients seeking the best expert foot and ankle surgical treatment available.
Richard is amazing at keeping you well informed of what is planned and what to expect. I’d highly recommend him.
