Review

‘Like many others in the profession of Podiatry, I have known, and valued, the various excellent books that David has produced throughout his long and distinguished career. His range of experience at all levels of our profession is exceptional and his various works have reflected that.

The current book, which reflects his personal experience of Morton’s Neuroma as both a sufferer and foot surgeon is highly valuable on many levels.

David’s sympathetic yet professional stance as a sufferer himself immediately engenders in the patient a feeling that here is information that they can trust, from someone who genuinely knows their pain and the effects it has on their quality of life. Martin H , Director of Education for the Institute of Podiatrists, Consultant Podiatrist. September 2025.

What others have said:

‘It's written in such a way that you can take what you need from it, despite your previous level of scientific knowledge. This is an excellent book that will appeal to podiatrists, patients and anyone with an interest in Morton's neuromas.’ Ian Reilly, Consultant Podiatric Surgeon, Northampton.

'David has a lovely way of making the complex relatable and clear. A great self-help book to get you thinking about your care.' Dr Charlotte Dando, Lecturer, University of Southampton.
