Mr Mathew explained verything perfectly and the procedure was performed exactly as planned. I am extremely pleased with the result which has significantly improved finger movement.

The problem with my hand was hard to diagnose as it wasn't a huge injury, but a smaller ongoing one that I had had for a while. Throughout the process I felt like Mr Philip Mathew wanted to help me get to the bottom of it so that I could get back to training properly asap, and although only a small injury, at not point did he make it feel insignificant. He is clearly very knowledgable and I would be very happy to have him again.
5
Mr Mathew gave a very clear explanation of my condition (early stages dupuytren’s contracture) the chances of it worsening over time, and the various treatment options available should it deteriorate further. All of my questions were answered, and I left feeling well informed and reassured.

It was a pleasure to meet and be diagnosed by Mr Mathew
