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
I had Achilles tendon repair surgery with Dr Carter and have been very grateful for his care and professionalism throughout my recovery. He takes the time to listen, explain things clearly, and makes you feel confident in the treatment plan. Highly recommended if you’re looking for an experienced and supportive orthopaedic surgeon.
All of my appointments with Mr Carter over the past 15 months have been great. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He is a superb surgeon and communicates very well. I feel like I'm in really good hands with Mr Carter and I wouldn't want anyone else dealing with my foot issues. I feel very lucky to have found him.
Bob was brilliant at explaining my scans to me, answering all my questions, and talking through my options for surgery. He was also really communicative by email, and was fantastic with some insurance admin I needed help with. He was vital to me getting the support I needed.
Mr carter has a very kind reassuring manner and having had surgery from.him before I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him .
