I felt that communication was low. I received a cryptic email that was hard to decipher in intent, even though I was expecting it. My expectation would be to receive an "As per our consultation" email immediately (24h) after the consult with a synopsis of the recommendation and intent... as well as any "plan" if provided.
Mr Carter is friendly and takes the time to explain everything and his happy to answer you questions.
Mr Carter was carrying out corrective surgery following Achilles tendon debridement surgery another surgeon carried which was unsuccessful and left me unable to walk properly. Mr Carter’s approach was completely different to the first surgeon. He analysed the MRI scans in front of me, talked me through the procedure and best options and how to approach my recovery to get the best results. He was very reassuring particularly given the issues I had with the first operation. I am now fully back running and am now able to complete longer distances than I could for at least 1 year pre first operation.

Thanks for a lovely review. Thank you for trusting me to try my best to help you get back on track. Keep running and you should keep getting stronger now.
There’s genuinely no words to describe how grateful I am to have had Bob as my foot surgeon. He is an incredibly skilled foot & ankle surgeon with a very keen eye for detail. I’ve had previous operations on my foot which all failed that made revision surgery even more difficult to perform. Bob kindly agreed to revision surgery as he could see how much pain I was in, and he performed the surgery in January. 4 months post surgery and I am back to long walks with my dog, back to work, and back to an active lifestyle. If there was a Nobel prize for foot & ankle surgery then Bob would be the recipient of it every time. Thank you again for everything you’ve done for me!

Thanks for a lovely review. Thank you for trusting me to try my best to help you get back on track.
Mr Carter operated on my foot in January, I was not looking forward to the whole experience in terms of recovery and discomfort but Mr Carter was amazing. I am now back to almost full recovery. He was very professional and knowledgeable and the whole experience was incredibly positive
Early stages but I mainly chose this consultant because of his availability only to have a three week wait until the first available follow up appointment which is a bit gmfristrating.

If you could please email me on the address I gave you at the consultation. admin@carterfootandankle.co.uk I am on leave for 1 week only and you will not need to wait for 3 weeks to book an appointment. We can also do a zoom or video appointment this week. Kind regards.
Very humble and caring personality Best advice given to us
I find Mr Carter to be an excellent communicator prompt in getting back to me with any questions or dates for surgery. He clearly has a passion for his speciality I thoroughly would recommend him based on my experience he has a caring and kind way with him which I’m sure will put patients at ease.
The best foot surgeon around, easy to contact if required, makes everything clear and easy to understand 10/10
