I had a Morton’s Neuroma removal procedure - Mr Wilmot was superb throughout. Explained everything clearly and with reassurance. His team, including Nikki and Vicky are also great, really helpful, so friendly and welcoming. The team at KIMS are excellent and it’s a clean hospital

Yes I would recommend Mr Wilmott. He was very reassuring and explained exactly what he was going to do. After care has been good too. I would definitely like Mr Wilmott to do the operation on my right foot once my present operation has healed.

Well.... Mr Willmott is absolutely fantastic. Everything he did was spot on. After 5 years my ankle is well and truly on the mend! So from the bottom on my heart thank you so much. The scar... is so straight and clean. Doesn't even look like a scar anymore.
