Mr Philip Mathew is, without doubt, the most polite, caring,pleasant,unassuming, no delusion of grandeur, amazing Consultant! I had the great honour of being one of his patients back at the beginning of December 2021. I had fallen and was seen in Urgent Care at weekend at Chelsea and Westminster hospital and referred to Mr Mathew after weekend. Words cannot explain how both his Registrar Rupert and Mr Mathews came to my aid at a very traumatic time. I was told I had a complex compound fracture of my left wrist. To my amazement I was taken in for surgery at well past 6pm. The operation I am told took over an hour and the next thing I knew I was being admitted for the night in cast and various padded arm slings. From then on I have been under the Mathew’s care and have had regular appointments in his very busy clinic. The care I have received from Mrathew and his team has definitely enabled me to carry on my voluntary work, as I am a War Widow. Today, I was discharged from Mr Mathew’s clinic 101% mended. Mr Mathew arranged for numerous Hand Therapy sessions with his Physios who were all ‘Angels’ and gave me confidence to battle on. If you are ever in the position of having an injury and you are put under the care of Mr Mathew, then I can honestly tell you, he is an amazing surgeon who deserves to be knighted for his services to the NHS. So, Mr Mathew I just want to thank you for never giving up on me when I was low, for being a very quiet, but also personable Consultant, whom put me at ease and explained everything you needed to do and why. I do hope I am never in the situation of any more breaks but feel I should get a tattoo on wrist saying, ‘in event of further bone injury please transfer me to Chelsea and Westminster hospital under care of Mr Philip Mathew!!!!!
