ARE YOU?
Are you fed up with a foot or ankle that’s painful and is stopping you from being active?
I specialise in helping patients suffering from pain in their foot or ankle, and also those that have have found themselves in a difficult position, having already gone through surgery.
I help patients with the whole range of foot and ankle problems, including trauma.
- This includes ankle arthritis, that might need an ankle replacement or fusion.
- Foot shape problems such as a flat foot, or high arched foot.
- Some of my patients have neurological illnesses and brain injuries, who are now struggling with mobility.
- Other problems include achilles problems, plantar fasciitis, bunions and arthritis.
When I meet with patients, we go through a full history and examination, and we may go through some diagnostic investigations. This might include, X-rays, MRI or CT scan.
We’ll sit down and have discussions about your treatment options. I believe that every patient should have explored conservative treatment before considering surgery and I work closely with physiotherapists, orthotists etc. 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.
My experience and expertise in treating complicated patients means I’m in a great position to be able to help to help patients like you.

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.

My operation and Mr Welck’s care has completely turned my life around… I can do so much more now and visit so many places.

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.
