Consultant Trauma & Orthopaedic Surgeon Specialising in Disorders of the Foot & Ankle

Do you dread putting on those work shoes in the morning because you know as the day goes on your feet will just become more and more painful? Does the shape of your toes now make it painful to wear closed footwear?

Are you a keen walker but have found that foot pain has stopped you enjoying our lovely countryside? Perhaps you are finding that you can’t walk the dog for as long as you used to? Have you had an injury to your ankle in the past that you just don’t feel you have fully recovered from but no one seems to take you seriously? Do you find that you just don’t trust your ankle anymore and it feels unsteady?

I understand it can be difficult to know what to do and you may be wondering if surgery is or isn’t the right thing for you.

Every day in clinic I meet people like yourself who are just trying to wear shoes without pain, get back to going for walks or return to the sport they love. I am a Consultant Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Surgeon with clinics in Chichester, Worthing and Brighton. I specialise in helping people with foot deformities like bunions and hammer toes, painful foot arthritis, ankle arthritis, ankle instability and more.

Not every condition requires surgery but if it does – I can help. I am an expert in minimally invasive surgical treatments and also carry out non-surgical treatments like injections and shockwave therapy. Over the years I have helped thousands of people just like you with good results. I know that recovering from an operation can really get in the way of work and life so I try and offer minimally invasive solutions that have a faster recovery and allow a quicker return to normal. Sometimes minimally invasive isn’t possible but I have also carried out hundreds of procedures to correct large deformities as well as procedures to help arthritis to the ankle and foot.

My surgical training took place in the UK but I have also undertaken further international fellowship training in the US. If you are seeking an opinion about whether surgery might help your foot or ankle condition or if non-surgical treatments are available then do get in touch and book in to see me.

TESTIMONIALS

Private Patient

Mr Ajis was extremely efficient. He informed me of the condition I had with clarifity and any addititional more extensive treatment I may require in the future. He immediately dealt with my small needs when he found the hospital had inadvertently made me nil by mouth, and came back to check afterwards. I would highly recommend him.

NHS patient

Listened to everything I said about the problems I was having with my ankle. He explained clearly and concisely what procedure was needed. What tests were needed. Visited me on day of operation both pre and post surgery to check that I was alright and if I had any questions plus post op to tell me his findings. Excellent care

Bognor Regis

I had pain in my ankle and over the last 3 years Mr Adam Ajis has looked after me. I saw him many times and he has always been very professional, kind and helpful. He takes the time to explain things in detail which, as a patient, is very helpful and reassuring. Both my operations were successful and I am truly grateful to him.
