Hammer Toes
Laurence James is very personable, he is very professional, he is very technical but also gives the simplified version for those of us that do not understand technical. He makes you feel comfortable and at ease in his presence, he is more like a colleague than a Consultant. I would have no reservations in recommending him to others for his surgical procedures, in particular to those relating to my issues with my toes.
