*** Rated 4.99/5 by over 800 patients ***
I am a specialist consultant orthopaedic surgeon focusing exclusively on foot and ankle conditions, with the aim of helping patients return to pain-free movement as quickly and safely as possible.
I treat a wide range of problems including bunions, sports injuries, arthritis, tendon disorders and complex or revision cases. My approach is always tailored to the individual, and surgery is only recommended when it is truly the best option.
Many patients I see are understandably concerned about pain, recovery time and outcomes. My role is to guide you through your options clearly and honestly, and to support you throughout your recovery.
I believe in a patient-centred approach, where every treatment plan is tailored to your individual needs and lifestyle.
Most importantly, you will be listened to in my clinic.
Where possible, non-surgical treatments are explored first. If surgery is required, I use modern techniques and aim to optimise recovery, minimise complications and get you back to normal activities as soon as possible.
You will be supported throughout your journey—from initial consultation, through treatment, and during your recovery and rehabilitation.
Patients commonly ask me:
“Do I really need surgery?”
“How painful will it be?”
“How long will recovery take?”
These are all important questions, and I will ensure that you have clear, realistic expectations before making any decisions.
If you are experiencing ongoing foot or ankle pain, the next step is a detailed assessment to understand your condition and discuss the most appropriate treatment options.

Patients praise Mr Nikhil Nanavati for his excellent and professional care during consultations. He explains all steps clearly to put patients at ease. Patients report good outcomes and smooth recovery. Bunion surgery and big toe fusion are key themes.
Was very happy the operation found it very hard to begin with to only hop around in one leg. Bet the operation went very well. The healing has gone very well at the moment. The surgeon, what did my operation he was excellent hoping to walk without a limp in the near future with no pain . Your sincerely Carol B.
My experience with Mr Nanavati has been 1st class such a a caring professional. I felt so at ease with him every time I visit. I have had operations on both my feet and I am very happy with the outcome. I would highly recommend him. Thank you Mr N.
I'm very happy and also lucky what i have a so great doctor Mr N Nanavati. The surgery was been great, the scar ir clear, looking very good, not pain, and I'll have a recovery time, what made me proud off my doctor and the operation. Thank you very much
You have to be patient and keep feet up for 1st 3 weeks but then do not try to walk about too much till your 6th week.
Dr Nanavati was clear. Very straight talking and very honest. Clear with instructions and very confident. Very polite and direct, which is exactly how it should be.
The whole experience has been excellent.everything was explained and all questions answered.
A positive experience with full explanation of procedure, current situation, recovery and next steps. Explanation given to pre and post operative anatomy of my foot and ankle utilising xrays to aid understanding. Mr Nanavati is a fabulous clinician whom I would recommend without he's.
Entering the follow up appointment and wire removal I was somewhat nervous. This was immediately recognised and I was put at ease by both Nurse & Mr Nanavati. The procedure was quick as advised. I can not recommend Mr Nanavati and his team throughout my time with them enough. Perfect & Professional from start to finish. Thank you so much!
Always follow the instructions for recovery to the letter
For the 2nd time this year, I was under the care of Mr Nanavati for my feet issues. Like in February this year, I was cared for under his expertise and again, like in February, since July I have continued to recover without any issues. There have been 3 surgeons who have successfully enabled me to get back on my feet (no pun intended) but Mr Nanavati's skill, professionalism, compassion and all round character, are in my opinion, rare and much sought after. There are few I would trust with my life, but with all sincerity, he is one of 3 medical professionals I wouldn't hesitate to have care for me. North East Lincolnshire is not lucky or fortunate, but privileged to have such an individual helping give back to people their mobility, confidence and all round well being. Even upon saying thank you with a handshake, my thanks really couldn't be conveyed enough, so I hope that this 2nd and final review, will go some way to endorse my gratitude to a quite truly, wonderful human being and secondly, though equally, surgeon. Thank you Mr Nanavati and all the very best in your future. Martin E. A.
I have known Nikhil for many years, both as a trainee and as a colleague. He is a thoughtful, highly skilled Foot and Ankle Consultant with extensive clinical and research experience. He is also actively involved in education and training across the Yorkshire region, contributing significantly to the development of future surgeons. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone seeking expert foot and ankle care.
