It’s been 2 years now since you and your wonderful team redesigned my foot and I still can’t believe how much it has turned my life around; I just want to thank you and your team again for then wonderful work that you do.
ARE YOU?
Are you fed up with an ankle that’s painful, swells, or is it stopping you from being active? Maybe you’ve had to give up a sport that you enjoy, or perhaps you have already had treatment but it hasn’t worked out?
I help patients suffering from ankle pain, who may need an ankle replacement, or have have found themselves in a difficult position, having already gone through ankle surgery or replacement.
I also help patients who have foot shape problems such as a flat foot, or a very high arched foot. Some of my patients have neurological illnesses and brain injuries, who are now struggling with mobility. I also treat the complete range of adult foot and ankle problems.
When I meet with patients, I take them through a proper history and examination, and we’ll likely go through some diagnostic investigations. This might include, x-rays, MRI and CT scans.
We’ll sit down and have discussion about treatment options, and I believe that every patient should have explored conservative treatment before considering surgery. If you’re finding yourself in the position of needing to consider surgery, we’ll decide together what best fits your needs, both for now and for the future.
In my NHS practice at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, we understand how to best treat complicated foot and ankle problems. My experience and expertise in treating complicated ankle patients means I’m in a great position to be able to help to help patients like you.

Dear Mr Welck, I would like to thank you for how quickly you managed to fit me in to have my ankle replacement surgery.

Mr Welck is very professional and instilled confidence and reassurance from our first meeting. He has been very thorough at all levels and my surgery has been a great success.

A simple thankyou doesn’t seem to be enough to express my extreme gratitude and appreciation for the outstanding care and professionalism I received from Mr Welck. A year on and I am still singing his praises for his amazing surgical skills, dedication and professionalism, in truth I had great anxiety and fear about the operation, but his caring, confident, encouraging and positive attitude reassured me from the start. A huge thankyou.

I cannot thank you and your team enough for the difference you have made to my life. When I was initially told by surgeon’s I only had a 60% chance of improvement, I knew I wasn’t a straightforward case! I have now taken up running and have done 28 park runs, 2 5k races and one 8km race. I have just entered a 10K. Thanks again.
