Revisited Mr Farndon for my recent operation and was very pleased with the result.

Efficient, professional and effective - perfect for me!
Due to recurrent Morton's Neuroma. I received clear concise advice, and the treatment was completed very satisfactorily within a short visit.
I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Farndon to anyone in need of lower limb care. I first saw him in February 2025 after a previous foot surgery, performed by another specialist, had resulted in ongoing foot and knee problems. From the outset, Mr Farndon did not pressure me into further surgery; instead, he guided me through the options and helped me understand the potential benefits of each approach. Ultimately, conservative treatments were insufficient, and I chose to proceed with surgery on both my foot and knee. Both procedures were handled so skillfully and gently that I experienced minimal post-operative pain. Unfortunately, I fractured my operated knee shortly after surgery, but Mr Farndon remained patient and supportive, carefully guiding me through the recovery process once again. Mr Farndon is a highly skilled surgeon who combines professionalism with genuine kindness, attentiveness, and patience. I am extremely grateful for his care.
I had ankle surgery within Mr Farndon received excellent care throughout. The whole process was very efficient—I was seen quickly for my initial appointment and was scheduled for surgery within days which made a huge difference. He was professional, clear, and reassuring, taking the time to explain everything and answer my questions. The surgery went smoothly, and my recovery has been well supported. I felt in very safe hands and would highly recommend.
