Foot and Ankle Specialists in London -- any recommendations?

[joesgirl]

Hello, I have been suffering from severe pain in my big toe and will need to see a specialist now to see what one can do. I am happy to go private, as my insurance should cover it.

Do you have any recommendations for foot and ankle specialists in London? Searching the internet I came across 2 units, but I don't have any views about them:

Thanks for your advice!

mr michael hennessey and mr geary are both renowned foot specialist in britain.

here is the website for mike hennessey and nick geary.

they both also lecture around the country on foot and ankle injuries and surgery.

Thank you alypaly. I cannot properly bend my toe, cannot step on my toe anymore. It really hurts if i try to walk normally, even if i walk in flat shoes (which i have done for 3 months now). I am afraid i may have strained it when wearing high heels some time ago, and then it just got worse.

Have you been to your GP?

does it hurt on the ball of your big toe or your actual toe
