About: Holme Valley Memorial Hospital / Day surgery

(as the patient),

Having a history of foot surgery both orthopaedic and major post tibial reconstruction, I have recently had a further operation called Kessel Bonny at Holme Valley Memorial Hospital.

This establishment specialise in feet and I was referred to a Podiatric Surgeon. I was a somewhat dubious at first as I have usually been referred to Orthopoedics.

Well all I can say is I am now more knowledgeable about all the previous operations I have had, and their side effects than I ever was. the stage explained everything that they would be doing, plus how and why. I never felt rushed and all my questions were answered fully. I felt I was in safe hands. The staff were friendly and professional.

The only negative in my observation was that the reception staff were not as efficient as they could have been.
