The Specialist Foot and Ankle Centre
Because you only want the best, for your feet
The Specialist Foot and Ankle Centre was formed at New Hall
Hospital in 2007 by three specialist foot consultants, Lyndon
Jones, Alasdair McCulloch and Peter Rauh, with the aim of providing
a high quality private foot and ankle surgery service for local,
national and international patients. Mr Rauh is a Consultant
Orthopaedic Surgeon; Mr Jones and Mr McCulloch are Consultant
Podiatrists.
What do we do?
The Specialist Foot and Ankle Centre aims to provide treatment
of a wide range of foot and ankles conditions, to all patients
whilst offering easy access specialist knowledge and the very best
in pre and post-operative care. An affordable and accessible foot
surgery service, housed within a charming private hospital, which
offers consultations and solutions for your foot problems. Surgical
treatment of the foot and all related structures, when chosen, can
be carried out under a local anaesthetic or general anaesthetic,
most often as a day case.
When is surgery necessary?
Many foot problems do not respond to conservative management.
Your consultant can diagnose the cause of your foot pain and
determine whether surgical intervention may be helpful. The aim of
surgery is to correct the deformity, restore function of the foot
or ankle and to alleviate pain and discomfort.
