All positive and professional Surgery outcome very good
Very professional Explained everything in detail Very happy with outcome
Mr Clough is excellent obviously very knowledgeable but equally importantly he distilled the relevant information into a short and simple explanation of the condition and then presented options for treatment alongside pros and cons so a decision can easily be made as to treatment plan. He listened carefully and helped me to know my options thank you
Having experienced a great deal of pain with my other bunion removal many years ago by a different surgeon, I was hesitant to have another attempt. This time however was a totally different experience! Mr Clough was thorough with his explanation of the procedure. The operation went well & I left the hospital feeling much more confident this time. The expected pain did not come & I am now in my third week walking without crutches.!!
After NHS blunders after a severe fall, I spent some time researching a consultant who I felt could help diagnose my injury. Tim Clough video instinctively drew me to him and I was not disappointed. He was welcoming and gentle, putting me at ease, in my distress, straightaway. He listened attentively and examined me thoroughly, answering my numerous questions. Within a week after that first consultation I had thorough MRI scans, diagnosis & a treatment plan. It was the first time I had felt I had been listened too in respect of the injury. I am very grateful to him and his simply brilliant, efficient secretary Anne who swiftly dealt with my follow up questions.
Mr Clough is always extremely patient and his explanations easy to understand

Dr Phil Batty
Sport & Exercise Medicine DoctorTim 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.

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.
