Listened patiently and sympathetically. Undertook a careful and thorough examination. Clearly explained the findings of the x-ray and MRI scan. Discussed the management options and involved me in the decision-making. I left the consultation feeling confident with the plans for my further management.

In a telephone conversation with Mr Dawson he explained clearly what my knee problem was. He listened to my concerns and discussed my possible options. I was given the time to think about my options without feelIng pressurised to make any quick decisions. I would be very happy to recommend Mr Dawson .

Explanation

I was a little apprehensive prior to my consultation with Matt Dawson and assumed he would just give me options for different operations for my knee which has no cartilage at all on one side, so ‘bone on bone’, but he listened to what I wished for, examined me thoroughly and gave me all the information on the options I had to consider.  From my x rays my knee needed some sort of replacement but he understood and respected my reasons for not wanting to do so until absolutely necessary. Primarily as a dance teacher I wanted to be able to dance as near to 100% as my knee would let me, be on my feet for long shifts working behind a bar and walk my dog every day, without too much pain and without risk of further damage to the knee. Big ask, but he came up with an option/answer. I went ahead with the knee brace he recommended and it has changed my life and given me all that I asked for, pain free and hopefully for some years to come. I am amazed and over the moon at the difference it has made to my life.  I thank him so much for looking outside the box and not just recommending a knee operation. I would, without hesitation, recommend Matt Dawson to anyone considering a knee operation.

Mr Dawson gave me a very detailed explanation of what would happen in my operation and made me feel very confident going into the procedure. After he came to see me and explained what he had done. My scars are so neat I’m very happy with my recovery and the surgery outcome. I would recommend Mr Dawson to anyone looking for knee surgery.

Explanation

From the initial appointment to the completion of surgery and after care, I was extremely impressed with Matt's professionalism and expertise. He explained everything very clearly and patiently, and was understanding of my age (77). The exercises after the operation were painful but very important and a necessity to a complete and full recovery. My knee is now fully healed and scaring is not noticeable. I am now able to walk 5 miles including the first 500 foot climb of the Coast to Coast walk (Dent Fell) and this is only 16 weeks post op. My aim is to be doing a lot more walking and cycling in the forthcoming months. I would fully recommend Matt Dawson to anyone considering a complete knee replacement. My thanks go to Matt and all his team.

Explanation

As a patient in a lot of pain, it was actually a relief to be told “bad news” when that news was that there is a very real physical explanation for the years of knee pain and the inability to walk, especially when qualified with the very comforting statement that “the good news” is that the problem can be fixed. With two knees now “fixed” simultaneously, thanks to Matt Dawson, my only regret is that I did not consult him earlier. From the very first consultation throughout the whole process, I felt I was being treated by someone very knowledgeable but also very caring. I was amazed at how quickly he completed the procedures but also how much time he was prepared to spend explaining and reassuring. I have already recommended Matt Dawson to others and will continue to do so.

I am delighted to be able to confirm that my full left knee replacement carried out by Mr. Mathew Dawson in December 2019 has been a complete success in every way. Following a most informative and helpful initial consultation, my operation proceeded in a timely manner to an early recovery, enabling me to return to a busy outdoor life such as I have been unable to follow for many years.
