Professional statement

Mr David Redfern is an exceptionally esteemed, trusted, highly trained and experienced London-based orthopaedic surgeon who specialises in foot and ankle problems. He is internationally recognised for developing minimally invasive techniques for treating foot and ankle-related conditions, and treats the full spectrum of foot and ankle complaints. He also has a vast amount of experience when it comes to medicolegal work. 

Dr Redfern possesses, to say the least, quite the impressive medical cirriculum to-date. One of the most notable aspects of his medical work thus far in his remarkable career has been inventing the MICA technique (Minimally Invasive Chevron Akin) as an incredibly effective minimally invasive treatment option for correcting bunions through the use of keyhole surgery. 

To-date, Mr Redfern has performed a substantial amount of minimally invasive foot and ankle surgical procedures throughout the past decade and was the first surgeon responsible for first introducing these modern, innovative and well-regarded minimally invasive techniques throughout Europe, Australia, as well as the US. 

Outside of his clinic, he teaches and lectures nationally and internationally and is both a writer and a reviewer for a range of prestigious, peer-reviewed journals. He forms an integral part of numerous professional bodies including the European Foot and Ankle Society, for which he serves as a council member.

Very happy with the surgical procedure Dr Redfern did 3 years ago (hallux valgus). Recovery time was minimal and painless. I would highly recommend him.

So many horror stories about how painful this operation is: I can honestly say that I experienced nothing stronger than “soreness”. I think the keyhole technique has really transformed the patient experience. A nursing friend who’s witnessed a number of friends undergo this op said mine appears to have been the least intrusive and with the best outcome. I would add that I was single minded about elevating my foot 24/7 and conscious at all stages not to take any chances just because everything felt fine. I’m very happy to have been privileged to receive this care - and to have a pain free left foot at last!

Mr Redfern listened carefully to my concerns and explained the procedure in clear layman’s terms. He offered further explanation when asked and was kind and gentle when handling the injured ankle. I felt secure and trusted his skill as a surgeon as well as feeling confident that he treats his patients as people and not just things to operate on!

Outstanding professional and constructive consultation. Mr Redfern positively encouraged and appreciated detailed questions about my potential bunion surgery and was willing to take additional time to discuss them. He is candid and engenders trust and confidence because his practice is evidence--based, as is clear from his website.

He listened to what I had to say in follow up appointments & I believe he cares about his patients. I am very happy with the care I received from Mr Redfern & so happy I went ahead with the operation as I have had an excellent outcome which has improved my life & confidence in many ways already.
