I had a consultation with Mr. Richard Freeman Orthopaedic surgeon at the Nuffield Hospital who put me in contact with Medbelle for a quote and treatment plan. My patient care advisor was Grace, who was very friendly, professional with a lovely 'nothing is too much trouble' manner. Mr Freeman is a highly-skilled surgeon who performs minimal invasive surgery, who I would not hesitate in highly recommending. Medbelle, Mr Freeman and Grace have all given me reassurance and guidance throughout my treatment and I would not hesitate in using them again and highly recommend them to anyone.

Mr Freeman did a great job of operating on my foot. He corrected a bunion and hammer toe using key hole surgery. The operation was in November 2023 and I am now (June 2024) able to run, cycle and swim. Will probably have to have a similar operation on my other foot and would love for Mr Freeman to take care of that one too. I had the operation in Nuffield Hospital, Haywards Heath and I would thoroughly recommend that hospital.

Mr Freeman is extremely professional and a specialist in ankle and foot problems. He is very approachable, easy to talk to and listens to your problem. Very thorough and explains exactly what he would recommend if you need surgery.He has a great team in theatre who put you totally at ease.I would totally recommend anybody who has problems with their ankle/foot to consider Mr Freeman as their consultant/surgeon.
Private patient at Fordcombe Hospital
I was given Mr Freeman’s name by a sports physiotherapist when my daughter had damaged her ankle playing sport. An MRI scan revealed ruptured ligaments. Mr Freeman completed the operation, removing a fragment of bone and reconstructed the lateral ligament. My daughter experienced no pain, and within 6 weeks was exercising gently on her ankle and 10 weeks was playing sport again. I thoroughly recommend Mr Freeman to anyone considering ankle surgery.
