Mr Marcus De Matas

Dr De Matas diagnosed secondary breast cancer in my spine. Along with miss Mitchell, both are medical genius with life saving skills, sense of humour and compassion. Thankyou xx

I have been a patient of Mr DeMatas since early 2024 after being released from the Walton Centre armed with some industrial-strength antibiotics following emergency surgery for Spinal Epidural and Psoas abscesses and a long period as an inpatient. He likes to take his time speaking to patients and makes sure you understand what he is saying to you. I had a crp of 515 which took a long time to get under control and I am left with other lifelong spinal issues now but I’m still here and don’t intend to shuffle off this mortal coil anytime soon! I’m in safe hands though.

He has got to be the best Dr ever. My husband has been under his care for a few years. He tells it how it is but with great understanding and integrity. My husband has recently been admitted to hospital that he doesn’t cover. I phoned his Secretary to cancel an appointment that my husband had with him and she asked what was going on. When I explained she said that I was to tell the Dr who was looking after him to tell them to contact Marcus and that he would liaise with them to make sure that my husband got the care that he needed. I got a phone call the next day from Marcus who wanted to know what ward he was on and what care he was being given. Within minutes of the phone call ending my husband was in a surgical collar to prevent any further damage to his spine. WHAT OTHER SURGEON WOULD DO THAT!!! He really does go above and beyond for all his patients I can’t speak highly enough of him.

I was under, Mr de matas for about 6 years. He done my back surgery amazing surgeon. I have seen many consultants over the years. None of them match up to Mr de matas. He empathic, caring, honest and always goes above and beyond for his patients. Very down to earth pure gentleman. When I was having other problems he put in touch with he's friends who specialised in those problems. Thanks to him I got the diagnosis and treatment i needed. Would highly highly recommend him.

Mr DeMatas has to be one of the very best, if not the best spinal surgeon. He talks to you like you are an old friend and is straight-talking and blunt. He spends time with each patient which means you will be waiting for a while to see him, but it is worth it. He is very thorough and will do everything he can for you and explain it to you in a way you will understand. When I was about to complain that my mobility isn’t very good after having been rushed in with a massive Spinal Epidural Abscess with Psoas abscesses he interrupted me and said ‘before you moan, remember that being rushed in with a CRP of over 500 and having massive emergency surgery and being long-term in critical care, you are amazingly still alive as really you should be dead’. It kind of puts things into perspective. I’ve since been diagnosed with Arthropy of the Facet Joints and I’m now a patient of his for life. Lucky I like him!

I have a complex medical history, but I felt I must leave a review as out of all my specialist doctors, Marcus is an excellent consultant and importantly listens to you as an person and not a number. I have been under Marcus's care now for 6yrs and this man is a total legend. I have not seen him since just before Covid, but due an immanent appointment at the Walton Centre and it will be a pleasure to sit and wait for him and have a catch up. I just wish I played golf and had the opportunity to bump into him on the 19th as that would be fun. I may make light jokes about Marcus, but I would not want to see anyone else if I knew Marcus also had a clinic. A true gentleman and a fabulous consultant. You would not go far wrong if he was your surgeon.

Well what can I say about Mr Matas Fantastic down to earth surgeon I have had 13 surgerys with different surgeons and I will say that Mr Matas is number one with regards to ease to talk to just fantastic Brilliant and amazing person

I have had two major spinal procedures by Marcus, and I have to say that I have total trust and faith in him. He is always so approachable, and really makes you believe that he has the patient's interest at heart. I almost dread the day when he will discharge me because he gives you such relief to know he cares so much about your outcomes. Marcus De Matas is a TOP man.

Just got back from my first appointment with the brilliant Mr Dematas. I had spent the last month worrying that I may need very difficult spinal surgery. Mr Dematas thoroughly reviewed my case and explained everything in understandable terms. He will review me over the next 12 months but I am optimistic for a full recovery.

The best surgeon my dad has ever had. We look forward to seeing him as he treats us like old friends. Will always go the extra mile to check in. Thank you Marcus!!
