Very polite and helpful person. Took the time to explain exactly what was going on with my ankle and the treatment schedule. Clearly a very experienced surgeon.

A very polite, helpful and considerate person. During the consulatation he was excellent at showing me, via a plastic model, the issue with my ankle. He also told me of another couple of issues do with my feet that was very useful. A CT scan was requested and what I liked, was the way he explained what that would show him.
