Mr Matthews is a highly professional Consulrant, he took time with me to explain and give all options open to me for future treatment. When he realised I was a very nervous patient regarding having Cortisone Injections Iin my knee ensured I didnt see the needle, got me a nurse for reassurance and even sprayed my knee until ice cold before injectioning.. I would highly recommend him to any patient, time was never an issue, my welfare was..
Mr Matthews explained everything clearly throughout and gave clear instructions with what’s needed on each step to recovery
Very happy with overall care and treatment whilst in hospital. Very pleased with speed of recovery and absence of pain during first weeks after operation. Needed nothing stronger than occasional Paracetamol. Able to drive safely and comfortably three weeks post operation. (Automatic car).
Mr Matthews has carried out full knee replacements on both knees, the most recent at the end of May 2026. I have found Mr Matthews to be understanding with a wonderful bedside manner. Nothing is too much trouble and at no point during my consultations was anything rushed. He listened and explained which was always reassuring. I would recommend Mr Matthews and his services to anyone.
