Explanation

I fell one Friday night and after a weekend A&E trip where I was told I couldn't weight bear for 6 weeks, I was referred to Mr Hester. He made himself available very quickly for a video consultation and got his secretary to warn me in advance that I would need surgery in the next couple of weeks because I'd told her I was panicking about how I'd manage, as a solo mum. On the call, he was extremely friendly and calm, put me at ease and before he even got into the surgery itself, brought up eBay to show me the hands-free crutch I should buy to make life easier. And, pushed back the surgery date to give me time to get organised with childcare. He and his office were always quick to respond to my questions, over the phone or via email. One Saturday when I hadn't acknowledged an email reply he'd sent me, he actually called to check I was ok. On the day of the surgery, the team could not have been more professional and friendly. I felt extremely safe in their hands. The surgery went well and x-rays at 12 weeks showed the fracture had healed. It was then left to me to figure out physio and recovery. I would highly recommend Mr Hester!

I had a very good experience with Mr Hester. I was able to get an appointment soon after my injury and the subsequent steps were all arranged promptly too. The advice I was given was very helpful in planning my recovery, and it was good to get a proper diagnosis of the injury (via an ultrasound) in order to understand the timelines of the recovery process. I would highly recommend Mr Hester

Mr Hester was honest in his assessment of my bunion and it was very much appreciated, I really did not want to take any action but wanted professional advice when it had started to ache after many years pain free.. He took time to explain why this might be the case and advised how to prevent this in the future. I would have no hesitation in recommending him and returning for further advice should I need it.

From initial consultation through surgery and post-surgery check ins and follow ups the care received from Mr Hester was excellent. Friendly and very personable, his assessments always delivered with care and high standards of professionalism, as was the surgery and aftercare. Swift to respond to queries by email and by phone pre and post surgery, his expertise and manner were first rate. I'm very grateful to have had Mr Hester as my surgeon and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

I found Mr Hester to be the best choice for fixing my bunions on both feet at the same time. I am so happy with the end result and highly recommend him to anyone looking to fix their feet. From the beginning to the end he has been available, promptly answering any questions and concerns I had. He has the most politest of bed side manners and was available at all hours (even replying to my messages in the middle of the night) after my surgery whenever I needed his assistance. Thank you so much Mr Hester you are the best.
