Tom was amazing. Practical, experienced, calm and thoroughly pleasant. He is excellent at his work and gave me tangible timelines and goals to stay focussed as I rebuilt my ankle and my life! Anyone who gets Tom as their surgeon is lucky - he is a safe set of hands who I would go back to in a heartbeat….but I rather hope I don’t need to!! Thank you for getting me back upright (and on my motorbike within 12 weeks too!!).

I was very pleased to meet Mr. Hester. It was a last-minute appointment, but he kindly managed to fit me in for the operation. His secretaries were highly professional and assisted in ensuring my ankle surgery was carried out as swiftly as possible. Thank you very much. I am on the way to full recovery!

Being treated by Tom was an absolute dream, firstly (and perhaps most importantly) he is clearly an incredible surgeon, I actually cannot believe how well my foot has healed and how amazing it looks after such a relatively short time. Secondly, his manner through the process was wonderful - kind, generous with his time, thoughtful, informed - could not have asked for more.

Very kind. Always had time to talk through things. Friendly and reassuring Maybe check with patient if they want to buy their own paracetamol Vs put on private prescription but that is my only feedback

After my first consultation with Dr Hester I felt completely confident about proceeding with my surgery. He explained everything fully and clearly. He was honest about recovery times and the possible discomfort. I was not disappointed. I am thrilled with my outcome and thanks to his support and help have managed my recovery well. Would highly recommend Dr Hester.
