Arthritis in left ankle

Posted By Bob Tack

"Arthritis in left ankle"

About: Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital (Wonford) / Trauma and orthopaedics

(as the patient),

I had a referral with Jason. He examined my ankle and showed me the x-ray. He then went over the options to put the ankle right. I was very satisfied with his explanations and wait to hear from him. I have complete confidence in him.

I am responsible for monitoring overall service delivery, and the day to day running of both departments. I work closely with the Orthopaedic Consultants, Radiologists, Therapists, Trauma Nurse Practitioners, Orthopaedic Practitioners and Nursing staff to ensure cohesive care is delivered. I am very fortunate to have a dedicated team of staff, who work extremely hard to ensure patient safety is maintained, and that clinics run as smoothly as possible.

Dear Bob Tack,

Thank you for taking the time to leave positive feedback on your recent appointment in Orthopaedic Outpatients.

I am very pleased to hear that you found Mr Van Heerden (Foot & Ankle Consultant) to be efficient and that you have expressed confidence in his practice. We strive to ensure that all patient's are fully informed of their treatment options, and that it is done in a manner that is clear. I hope that any future treatment that you may have under the Orthopaedic service goes well and that your ankle symptoms resolve.

I will make sure that your kind words are shared with him regarding your recent experience.

Kind regards,

Julia King

Clinical Nurse Manager
