Many thanks for all the excellent surgery, treatment, care and communication I have received from Mr Hearnden and yourself. I can’t praise Mr Hearnden highly enough, putting this into words, the difference he has made to my well being and pain free life again , after my recent osteotomy. What a very kind, caring and clever man he truly is.

“Mr Hearnden is always immediately welcoming, extremely kind, gentle in his manner and caring. He makes one feel completely at ease and confident in the knowledge that he has. He explains issues very clearly so that one understands what he is talking about. If I have the need to ever return, I would have absolutely no hesitation”
