NHS podiatry encouraged me to see Mr Kankate on the NHS after a failed Keller’s procedure. Mr Kankate carried out revision surgery in 2014. I have valued his unhurried and caring manner. He always takes the time to explain what the problems are, and suggests solutions he thinks may improve my foot function.
Mr Kankate listens carefully to patient concerns, and will say if he thinks surgery is, or is not indicated. Mr Kankate communicates clearly using non technical language, yet is happy to engage at a more technical level as required which I have appreciated.
I have also appreciated the fact that Mr Kankate has kept me in the NHS system with yearly reviews when he could reasonably have discharged me 2 years ago. My foot function is greatly improved from the post Keller situation. I recommend Mr Kankate without hesitation!
