Mr James Carmichael

Faultless experience. Mr Carmichael has a lovely bedside manner, he really cares about his patients. His surgical skills are truly excellent and his diagnosis spot on. After years of struggling with my ankle and having no answer he diagnosed the problem straight away. Truly exceptional service. Thankyou

After my operation I carried out Dr Carmichaels instructions to the letter and suffered no pain and no visible scarring. A pleasure to have him do my surgery and a fantastic surgeon.

I have enjoyed walking as a hobby for many years but in recent I have been troubled by an increasing pain in my right foot which severely limited my ability to continue walking beyond gradually diminishing distances. In January 2018 I was referred to Mr James Carmichael at the Fitzwilliam Hospital who quickly diagnosed the issue as a Morton's neuroma. This was excised on 7th February by a quick and efficient piece of surgery. This was extremely successful and I am now back to walking as far as I can manage.

I have been suffering with arthritis in my right ankle for 3 years and struggled to walk. I was eventually referred to Mr. Carmichael an Orthopaedic Consultant/Surgeon for Peterborough City Hospital and also Fitzwilliam Hospital. I chose to see him at the Fitzwilliam. He explained that if I wanted to be pain free for the rest of my life, I needed an ankle fusion operation, as a previous cortisone injection did not work. It sounded drastic, but with his honest and caring manner, not forgetting his bubbling confidence, I found it very easy to trust him. He was true to his word, I had the operation in December 2017 and now it is April, I am walking very well and pain free...What a result!! Everything was done in a very professional manner, the Fitzwilliam Hospital was first class, and everyone caring and only too pleased to help. I am very impressed with Mr. Carmichael, his honesty and professionalism and I will always recommend him to other patients. The hospital should be proud to have such an excellent surgeon as part of their organisation. Yes I am really thrilled with the outcome. At 72 years of age time was not on my side, now it is! I have my life back. Cheers!!!

Mr Carmichael diagnosed and treated a rare injury I suffered to my big toe while out running. I am a keen runner and the injury left me unable to run with the possibility I may never run again. This was unbearable for me and he was very understanding of that. Mr Carmichael was interested to know about the running I did and carefully considered what treatment would be best for me. Joint fusion surgery to my big toe was decided which Mr Carmichael performed a year ago. It was totally successful and with all the advice he gave I have made a full recovery. I am back running and have already done several 10k races. Mr Carmichael has given me my life back and I will be eternally grateful to him. The support and guidance Mr Carmichael gave made a difficult time for me easier to get through than I could ever have imagined. Mr Carmichael is a genuinely nice person, friendly and easy to talk to. He answered all the questions I had and explained all the decisions he made. I had total confidence in him and always came away from my consultations feeling positive, from start to finish he was outstanding. It is clear Mr Carmichael is passionate about giving great care to his patients and I would highly recommend him.
