I have been to Dr Matt a few times with different problems and what really impresses me is that he will try and sort out the problem with either medication, physiotherapy or injections before doing surgery.

I saw Dr Durrans a few months ago with a bad shoulder issue. He went out of his way to explain; in layman’s terms and with the help of drawings and images, what my problem was and how he was going to do fix it .

I have seen Dr Durrans in 2014 and 2019 for both my knee replacements . He is always so kind and enthusiastic. Also as for me being a pensioner I do appreciate that he charges medical aid rates as the cost of medical care is so expensive.

I would recommend Dr Matt to any of my friends. He helped me with my really bad bunions and I can now wear open shoes without feeling embarrassed.

Hi Doctor You performed surgery on my bunion at the end of 2019 and I just want you to know, I rode the Argus in March 2020 and ran a full 42.2k marathon during October 2020.  My foot never gave me a moment's trouble, my hip-flexors however were a different story.  Just a little note to thank you for the sterling job you did – I will be forever grateful. Blessings to you and your family
