Mr Jason 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 Hargrave is 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 in-house podiatrist, Gavin Fane, worked alongside Mr Hargrave for many years at St Thomas's Hospital and is therefore able to discuss options available to patients, both surgical and non-surgical, together with a general discussion regarding the suitability of foot surgery and other important considerations prior to being referred to the surgeon. This can act as a simple, inexpensive filter, ensuring patients being referred onward to the surgeon are more fully aware of what is involved and required when considering surgical options. Simply ask for an appointment with Gavin Fane when making the appointment.
Of course there will be some patients who already have an understanding of surgical and non-surcial options and will wish to be referred to Mr Hargrave directly. In such cases we would invite you Email Us requesting a direct surgical appointment with Mr Hargrave.
