When I was first referred to Dr Kankate I was experiencing significant amount of pain in my right foot. I have always had flat feet, but this had progressively worsened over the years to the point that I was lame and unable to do so many things because of the pain.
After an initial examination he informed me that I would have to have major surgery to stop my foot from deteriorating further. It was a real relief to know that there was something could be done but I was also apprehensive at the thought of a major operation followed by a significant stint of rehabilitation.
I was really put at ease with regards to the operation and what would happen afterwards. Every aspect was talked through and he was always happy to ask any questions I had. The level of care I received both during and after the operation was simply excellent, I could not have asked for a better surgeon and team.
The operation has been nothing short of transformative, I have no pain anymore and have become so much more active now participating in multiple outdoor family activities and sport.
It has been almost 4 years since the operation and my foot is still improving.
Thank you so very much Dr Kankate for all that you have done, I really appreciate it.
