My experience has been excellent. I have felt fully informed all the way from my first consultation to the very end. I had suffered greatly for many years, so it has been good to have had a positive experience. Mr Clough is a very open and warm person, so I had complete trust under his care.
5
Mr Clough has always been approachable on all appointments. He’s given good explanations and clear next steps. I’ve felt very confident about his abilities and the likelihood of positive outcomes which have now been achieved. That being said he has also kept me informed about all potential risks. I hope I don’t need the services of Mr Clough in the future but if I were to I’d be delighted were he to be the consultant I visit again.

Tom is excellent. My surgery was successful, he has been really supportive and knowledgable throughout the healing process. I had a complication and he and his secretary Anne managed to move his calendar around to fit me in. He is very engaging, explains everything, and I have full confidence in him. I could not recommend him more highly.

Each appointment was on time and I felt confident that I’m in safe hands with Me Clough and his team!

25 Apr 2023Dr Philip Batty
Sports & Exercise MedicineTim is the 'go to' surgeon when it comes to the foot and ankle. He knows when and equally importantly, when not to operate and has excellent operating skills. He has looked after many of my patients, from elite athletes to the general public and has transformed patients lives when others before him have struggled. I would thoroughly recommend Tim to anyone.

Sports & Exercise MedicineTim is a highly experienced and very well respected foot and ankle surgeon. Tim's bedside manner and the care he shows his patients is second to none. Tim is one of the most approachable Orthopaedic surgeons I have worked with. As one of the leading Foot and Ankle specialists in the UK, regularly treating high level elite athletes, he is my preferred choice to refer any of my patients, and this includes friends and family. I run a clinic alongside Tim at The OrthTeam centre, and the results Tim achieves from his surgery, and the satisfaction levels of his patients are outstanding.
