I meet Mr Weizel couple of years back regarding my heel pain. He was very approachable explained to me what might have happened to my heel he was very calm and reassuring which made me so relax,also explained about things he would do to help me elevate my pain He referred me for steroids injections on my heel which didn’t help that much. He was so concerned about my pain explained to me that surgery will be the best option. I was placed on the waiting list. Had my surgery saw him after two weeks. I am very pleased with my journey with Mr Weitzel.

Explanation

I've met Mr Weitzel a few times; once in NHS Lewisham Hospital and the rest at Blackheath Private Hospital and during my visits, Mr Weitzel was kind, reassuring, and explained fully about the procedure I would be having. He didn't just explain in Consultant terms though, he explained in a way, which was easily understood. On the day of my bunion corrective surgery, I was nervous, and he came in to see me, explained what he would do, explained the recovery and was happy! When someone is standing in front of you with a big smile on their face, it's hard to continue to feel scared - You smile back! During my after care, again he was great! He gave great advice and instructions to ensure that I had a positive recovery outcome. I had my last visit last week with Mr Weitzel and I was so appreciative of the care I received from him. I'm in my early 40's and the pain I was experiencing in my foot, prior to the surgery, was not nice at all. I was experiencing swelling, shooting pains and discomfort everyday! So to have received this surgery, makes me grateful and excited to get back to doing the things that I used to be able to do. I'd like to specially thank Mr Weitzel for giving me a new lease of life, in a sense. I'm very grateful.

I have met Mr Weitzel a few years ago, when he operated my left foot. I was so happy with the results that specifically looked for him when needed a corrective surgery on my right foot. Mr Weizel is very approachable and the most competent orthopedic surgeon that I have met! I am very happy with the results of my both surgeries.

I have known Mr Weitzel for many years since our training days. He is highly regarded in his field and offers his patients many unique procedures including ankle replacements. He has extensive experience in lower limb surgery but also takes a very measured approach to exhausting conservative options before considering surgery. I highly recommend Stefan as an excellent surgeon and as a doctor who very much takes care of his patients.
