Additionally, Mr Ward is trained in both transoral laser and transoral robotic surgery, having undergone specialised training with Dr Greg Weinstein in Philadelphia.
Driven by a passion for head and neck surgery, Mr Ward's decision to pursue ENT training was fueled by his fascination with the complex anatomy and technical challenges of the field.

Mr Matthew Ward is friendly, professional, and clear when interacting with patients. Many patients report excellent care and good outcomes for various procedures, such as nose, ear, thyroidectomy, septoplasty, parathyroid, and sinus surgeries. Mr Ward offers thorough assessments and explains details simply, making patients feel at ease and well-informed. Patient feedback highlights his expertise in parathyroidectomy.
Reassuring. Having had restricted breathing problems due to a nose trauma , I had a septoplast and turbinoplasty which has resolved the problem by 80%. The procedure was not painful, just required doing nothing for two weeks (great!) I thoroughly recommend the procedures if required.
Very good experience for my daughter who had a tonsillectomy under the care of Mr Ward. Very organised process and a quick and safe procedure. Mr Ward explained everything clearly to us regarding the procedure and my daughter felt very well informed and safe in his care. Would highly recommend Mr Ward.
I had a thyroglossal duct cyst removal. My experience was great. Mr Ward was fantastic, I’m very thankful for his expertise.
Matthew ward is a friendly, skillful surgeon who puts you at ease and is dedicated to trying to help his patients. My tonsil surgery with him went smoothly and recovery went well. The only problem I had was with booking a private room at Portsmouth hospital - I booked this months before and they cancelled it the day before the surgery. It made an already stressful time much more stressful.
I had my first consultation with Mr Ward today . He was very professional ,yet approachable. He listened to all of my concerns and explained my options clearly . After years of uncertainty, it’s reassuring to have some clarity finally.
Mr Ward has been fantastic from start to finish. Really pleased with all my treatments including surgery and his support along the way
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Matt and the excellent service he provides at Medicana. He is thorough and professional and provides clear explanations whilst also being very personable and putting you at your ease.
