Patient Story

In August 2010, Mrs Tina Schlosz from Hornchurch, Essex came to Spire Hartswood Hospital in Brentwood after years of suffering from bunions on both of her feet.

“I had suffered for 25 years and for the first time, I can walk about and not have to stop and rest my feet. I even went to a shopping centre and walked solidly for a few hours which I could not have done before. I am looking forward to getting my party shoes on which I hope I will be able to do in the not too distant future.”
