“My job is to get every patient back to the activities they love — competitive sport, daily walks with the grandchildren, or a pain-free night's sleep. I spend at least 45 minutes with every new patient, present every treatment option (often non-surgical), and only operate when the evidence supports it.”

Got me back on the football pitch in 6 months
Sir Matthew rebuilt my ACL after a bad rugby injury. The team explained every step, the surgery was flawless and the physio plan got me back to club rugby six months later. Outstanding consultant — would not consider anyone else.

Worth flying from Paris
Travelled from Paris for a knee replacement second opinion. Sir Matthew was the only surgeon who explained the alternatives properly and didn't rush me to surgery. Months later when I did need the op, his outcomes spoke for themselves. Excellent in French too.

World-class knee surgery
After two failed surgeries elsewhere in Germany, Sir Matthew performed a complex revision. Six months on I am back to skiing. Detailed, patient, and his team are exceptional. I would recommend him to anyone in Europe.

Compassionate and brilliant
I had bilateral knee replacements at 67. Sir Matthew's pre-op explanation was the clearest medical conversation I've ever had. Surgery went perfectly, both knees done in one stage, and I'm walking 10,000 steps a day three months later.

Saved my career
I'm a semi-pro cyclist with a torn meniscus. Sir Matthew did a meniscal repair (not resection) — exactly the right call. Eight weeks later I was back on the bike, and won my next race. He treats athletes like an athlete.

Best decision of my life
After eight years of patellofemoral pain dismissed by every other surgeon I'd seen, Sir Matthew diagnosed the underlying instability and corrected it surgically. Pain-free for the first time in a decade. Truly life-changing.

Telemedicine consultation was excellent
Booked a video consultation from Madrid before flying to London. Sir Matthew reviewed my MRI in advance, gave me three clear treatment options, and the in-person visit was straightforward. Highly professional, fluent in Spanish.

Took the time other surgeons didn't
My local hospital wanted to do a full knee replacement at 52. Sir Matthew suggested a less invasive partial replacement instead — three years later it's as good as new. He listens, then advises. Rare combination.

Cartilage transplant — superb result
Had a MACI cartilage transplant for a knee defect that had been bothering me for years. Sir Matthew was one of the few surgeons in Europe doing this routinely. Two years post-op and my knee feels normal. Worth every euro.

Honest, skilled, kind
Came over from Dublin for a sports injury opinion. Was prepared for a hard sell on surgery — got the opposite. He told me physio would fix it, gave me a structured rehab plan, and he was right. That kind of integrity is rare.

Outstanding from start to finish
Knee replacement on my left knee in February. The whole experience — consultation, surgery, aftercare — was exceptional. The team coordinated everything down to my hotel. I returned for the right knee 9 months later.

Got my marathon back
Tore my ACL training for the London Marathon. Sir Matthew rebuilt it with a quad tendon graft (a newer technique), and 11 months later I crossed the finish line at Berlin. He understood what running meant to me.
