MB BS FRCS (Tr&Orth)

Mr R. Lloyd Williams is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon Specialising in Foot and Ankle Disorders. He also treats general trauma.

Career

Graduating from St. Bartholomew’s Hospital Medical College in 1986, I became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1990.

Having completed a six year higher surgical training programme at the Royal National Orthopaedic, Middlesex and University College Hospitals in London, I gained the FRCS(Orth) accreditation exam in 1996. Subsequently, I undertook Visiting Fellowships in Dublin, Ireland and Houston, Texas studying Foot and Ankle Surgery.

In 1997, I became Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at the University College London Hospitals NHS Trust specialising in Foot and Ankle Disorders and was until 2001 Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon to Saracens RFC. I am a Fellow of the British, Irish, European and American Foot and Ankle Societies and have published research papers in my field of expertise in the European and American Medical Literature. I was Convenor of the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital Foot and Ankle Surgery Course from 1999 to 2007 together with faculty membership of various national and international foot and ankle surgery teaching courses and seminars.

In full time private practice since 2004, my special interests include forefoot reconstruction for hallux valgus (bunions) and correction of hindfoot deformity and arthritis. I also practise Minimally Invasive Foot and Ankle Surgery (MIS) a new and revolutionary procedure that is used to treat a number of common foot conditions.

I have extensive experience in the management of foot and ankle disorders in professional and amateur athletes and sportsmen including football, rugby union and league players. I have been variously Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon to the Royal Ballet Company, English National Ballet and Central School of Ballet and regularly attend to young ballerinas and dancers with injuries sustained during training and performance.

I am a founding Partner of The London Orthopaedic Clinic (TLOC), now based at Mayo Clinic Healthcare (4th Floor), London W1 and also hold clinics at Wellington Diagnostics and Outpatients Centre, London NW11. I operate at King Edward VII’s Hospital, Princess Grace Hospital and Portland Hospital as necessary.

Hi Millie (and Mr Williams),

My feet are finally dry and legs no longer ache so I thought I’d send you a little photo from the Venice marathon!!! The weather was brutal and running the final two miles through flooded streets was interesting to say the least. Managed to finish in 3hrs 55mins (a gentle plod, as instructed… HA!) so I was very happy. I also somehow ended up pacing the race for the two men in the photo who announced at mile 24 that they had been following me the whole way.

A big, big thank you for all your support and care- I meant so much to me to be able to run and I couldn’t have done it without you all.

I have a little something that I want to send over to Wimpole Street to say thank you- please could you let me know when you are all in clinic and I’ll arrange for it to be delivered? Afraid I may not be able to hand deliver it myself… what time do you close this week?

Best wishes,
Rachel

Testimonials

“Mr Lloyd Williams was patient, caring and thorough. It was an already frightening experience to attend the operation and appointments with no other family member or friend, but Lloyd put me at ease every time and went above and beyond for my all round care and needs. Thank you very much!”

“In Aug 2015 you performed your wonderful minimally-invasive bilateral bunionectomy on me. I am writing to wish you well at this time and also to let you know that your excellent carpentry skills truly transformed my life! Five years on, I am pain free and happy to wear those Jimmy Choo shoes I always dreamed of. I have fond memories of your kindness and professionalism and wish to thank you sincerely. You have no idea what a difference this has made to my life.”

“All excellent and Mr Lloyd Williams' secretary, Millie, was exemplary when dealing with relevant paperwork etc.”

“From previous treatment with Mr R. Lloyd Williams and on my most recent consultation, I have been treated with a huge amount of care, empathy and compassion. It was, and still is an absolute delight to visit Mr Williams and his team, and I would feel quite uncomfortable about receiving any treatment from anyone else in the orthopaedic sector.”

“Mr Williams did double bunion surgery for me at the King Edward VII hospital 7 weeks ago. As soon as I met him I could see I was in good hands! He is extremely kind, approachable, professional and skilful. I have been putting off surgery for years but have been pleasantly surprised by the recovery - I was walking on day one with very little discomfort. Follow up has also been very good and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Mr Williams.”

This is all down to Mr Williams and his team."

“The most caring, professional and patient-centred attention imaginable matched only by the consultant's expertise. I am so lucky to be in his care. Have always found the clinic gives excellent service, both with Mr Lloyd Williams and Mr Sean Curry”

“I saw Mr Lloyd Williams for a sports injury in my foot sustained whilst training for a marathon. He gave me the time I needed to really explain what had happened and it was evident from his detailed follow up letter that he had really listened to me and understood what had happened with my injury. His examination was comprehensive and he also looked at my MRI images with me and properly explained what they meant, so that I understood what was happening...”

"...He also immediately arranged an US for me, which was done then and there in clinic. Most importantly to me he fully explained what the injury was and how we could treat it - and get me back to running as quickly and as safely as possible. It was obvious to me from the first meeting with Mr Williams that he really knows what he’s doing. It means so much to me to run and I feel that I couldn’t have done this without the expertise and time that Mr Williams gave me. I have complete confidence in this doctor - he is up to date, professional and doesn’t waste time. I would recommend my family and friends to him without hesitation.

“Mr Lloyd Williams was great. I felt really confident in his knowledge and he was very considerate. The nurses were very lovely and helpful as well.”

“Mr Lloyd Williams was so helpful and went out of his way to ensure that all the necessary tests were done and followed up with him in one visit as we had travelled a long way to see him. He called us himself with the follow up. All in all a fantastic experience for me as the mother and particularly for my injured son.”

“Excellent surgeon, who operated on the bunions on both my feet with incredible results . I was walking (hobbling) the same day, in trainers less than 6 weeks later doing low impact gym work and able to slowly start running again at 10 weeks. I had no pain and just four stitch marks on each foot, rather than the...”

"...Frankenstein" scarring, I have seen on others. He is approachable, with a great sense of humour and explained everything in detail and the team at King Edward VII are fantastic. A special thanks also to Millie his PA, who answered my every query quickly and enthusiastically. If you are thinking of doing this then please don't hesitate and go to Lloyd. I only wish I could attach photos to this review to show what a great job he did !"

I was concerned about possible infection to the operated toe. Mr Williams was able to see me very promptly and was reassuring, laying to rest all worry I had.

Mr. Llyod William has operated on my ankle before and it was and still is immensely successful. I found I have complete trust in him.

Mr Lloyd Williams was very personable and immediately made me feel at ease. He highlighted the medical issue/treatment plan which was for me very reassuring.

Dr. Williams was extremely professional and highly skilled. Very pleasant manner and explained his diagnosis/thoughts in a way that was understandable to a lay person. I would highly recommend him.
