Mr Matthew Oliver

Mr Matthew Oliver is a Consultant Hip and Knee Surgeon. He has many years experience treating patients across the UK and abroad.

He provides a clear, structured and efficient pathway from diagnosis to recovery, helping patients return to normal life as quickly and safely as possible. He is known for taking the time to explain scans and treatment options offering honest, straightforward advice. 

He offers a rapid access hip and knee service with appointments typically within 1-2 weeks, fast access to x-ray and MRIs, and a prompt follow up to confirm a treatment plan.
