Mr J E Hargrave, Consultant Podiatric Surgeon
Mr Jason Hargrave is a Fellow of the Faculty of Podiatric Surgery and a Consultant Podiatric Surgeon with over 16 years experience operating on a wide variety of problems affecting the foot and ankle.
In his NHS work, Mr Hargrave is the Consultant and Manager of a large Podiatric Surgery Unit and is widely recognised by his peers as being at the forefront of Podiatric Surgery in England.
Mr Hargraveis recognised with all major insurers and accepts fee-paying clients and consults at his Harley Street clinic. Podiatric Surgery is provided on a day case basis from a nearby private hospital.
Our head of podiatry, Gavin Fane, worked alongside Mr Hargrave for many years at St Thomas' Hospital and is able to discuss the non-surgical options available to patients, together with a general discussion regarding their suitability to be considered for foot surgery and important considerations prior to being referred to the surgeon. This can act as a simple, inexpensive filter, ensuring patients being referred onward are more fully aware of their options. However, some patients will wish to be referred to directly and we would invite you contact us requesting a surgical appointment to see Mr Hargrave.
