  • by Ms Anna Balcombe, Chiropodist

    Having known Matthew over recent years, he is an excellent leading Orthopod in the foot and ankle. He has an affable patient manner and provides explanation and full treatment plans to surgical and non-surgical patients. He provides great clinical judgement, as well as full complement of conservative and surgical treatment options to patients. He provides full and evidence based explanation alongside his evaluation to patients and is keen to explore all avenues to resolve patient issues.

  • by Ms Suzanne Ferreira, Physiotherapist, Pilates Instructor, Acupuncturist & Life Coach

    Matt delivered an educational talk, covering various ankle & foot conditions to an audience of clinicians & clients. Without hesitation, it was one of the most informative & stimulating seminars I've ever attended. He has a wonderful manner in including all people. He was able to help a client suffering from a dropped foot for the last 12 years & is offering some hope. I'd refer any client or family member for any ankle & foot problem to Matt without any reservation.

  • by Ms Nicki De Leon, Physiotherapist

    Mr Matthew Welck is an exceptionally knowledgeable and personable consultant. Whilst his surgical interventions result in excellent outcomes, he does not offer interventions unnecessarily. From a Physiotherapist’s perspective, he is refreshingly open minded and interested in the rehabilitation involved in managing his patients. From a patient’s perspective, everyone I have referred to him, has been exceptionally happy with all interaction with him.

  • by Mr Dan Burgin, Sports and Rehabilitation Therapist

    Mr Matthew Welck following a number of positive feedbacks I have received from patients who have recently had consultations with him. They have expressed a welcoming, friendly and detailed session which they were able to fully understand and leave feeling they are fully aware of their condition and any potential interventions they may need. I will continue to refer to Mr Welck to help our patients whom need his further expertise and advice.
