Mr Clough I find approachable friendly and listens effectively to the nature and symptoms of my ankle injury. Further analysis/investigation involved x-rays and MRI scans which Illustrated clearly the injury to my ankle. Mr Clough took the time to ensure I was able to understand what the investigation information meant . Mr Clough’s patience in taking the time to answer my questions / concerns regarding medical choices left me confident and fully informed about the best option available for my ankle. Following his professional advice enabled me to get back to a more active lifestyle. Mr Clough and his team have a positive caring attitude and made me feel valued as a person. This I feel is very important when you feel vulnerable and concerned over which health option is the right choice. Certainly it’s been the best health care I’ve experienced and would very highly recommend Mr Clough and the orthopaedic team.

Tim is the 'go to' surgeon when it comes to the foot and ankle. He knows when and equally importantly, when not to operate and has excellent operating skills. He has looked after many of my patients, from elite athletes to the general public and has transformed patients lives when others before him have struggled. I would thoroughly recommend Tim to anyone.

Sports & Exercise MedicineTim is a highly experienced and very well respected foot and ankle surgeon. Tim's bedside manner and the care he shows his patients is second to none. Tim is one of the most approachable Orthopaedic surgeons I have worked with. As one of the leading Foot and Ankle specialists in the UK, regularly treating high level elite athletes, he is my preferred choice to refer any of my patients, and this includes friends and family. I run a clinic alongside Tim at The OrthTeam centre, and the results Tim achieves from his surgery, and the satisfaction levels of his patients are outstanding.
