I have had several foot and ankle “surgeries” on both my feet, all performed by Mr J Ritchie. I continue to admire Mr Ritchie’s surgical prowess, bedside manner and the care and time he takes when explaining the pro’s and con’s of each proceedure. I have previously nominated Mr J Ritchie for an award, and my opinion remains the same. I would also like to mention his secretary, Helen. I found her to be extremely helpful when organising the dates and time for my procedures, and her kindness in accommodating my wishes was of the best possible.

I had a great experience with Mr Ritchie. He was professional and welcoming and explained everything to me. He explained the process, the routes I may have to go down. He referred me straight away for an MRI and told me to book a follow up quickly.

It was a pleasure meeting Mr. Ritchie. He took the time to thoroughly explain my condition and the recommended treatment, ensuring I understood every aspect.

Mr Ritchie was very pleasant, he examined the areas of concern & explained the results of my recent scans. He advised on a treatment plan pre-operatively & has written to my GP to refer me for physiotherapy locally before I see Mr Ritchie again in 3 months.
