MTP Health - St Leonards

Dr Cawthorne, explained to me what he thought the problem is with both my hips so I could understand them and referred me for investigative scans to further investigate the hip problems.

Dr Negus is erudite and humorous while immediately connecting warmly with his patients. His explanations of my symptoms were lucid and succinct, while his recommendations for future action were clear and unambiguous. In addition, his staff were efficient and helpful. I’m glad to have met him and his staff.

After suffering a substantial injury from running rather than going to an orthopaedic surgeon, I was referred to a Sports Medicine Doctor who in turn referred me to MTP Health at St Leonards. I embarked on a 12 week intensive exercise rehabilitation programme with Brendan the Head Exercise Physiologist. My goal was to be able to go to Ireland to do a walk that was booked pre-COVID. Brendan was so supportive and encouraging. It was definitely hard work and certainly a big commitment but together we did it. I went to Ireland and walked! I would highly recommend Brendan and MTP Health before you commit to having any surgery; this has to be a realistic option for anyone.

Although impressed by their five star reviews, I can't say my experience was the same.I certainly did not expect to come out of my initial consultation in worse pain than when I went in.Nor did I expect not to have any solution to the problem. Little did I know that the first consultation was to provide the exercise physiologist with measurements of where I am now, to enable them to prescribe the appropriate exercises at the NEXT appointment.That information should be made clear on booking with this practice.I cancelled my follow up appointment because I was in worse pain thanks to the physical nature of the assessment process.While receiving a standard 'how did we do' email two months later, and despite explaining my disappointment, I have received no response to my feedback.If you know you are happy to embark on a 12 week, $3000 exercise programme then this practice might suit you.

Thank you so much (Doctor Cawthorne and receptionist) for your care and compassion this morning - already have recommended Dr Cawthorne to a friend.

Not sure where to start with how much I recommend the folk here at MTP. After a lifetime of competitive sport my body had taken its toll.First arrived there with an unresolved knee issue that several other medical people had struggled to help me with.MTP put me on their knee programme and it fixed my knee.When I unfortunately had to have 2nd shoulder reconstruction I immediately chose MTP to help go through the long rehabilitation.All the staff are so motivating and inspiring and help you make those baby steps back to recovery. Celebrating your gains with you.Cutting edge ethos and technology that makes sense and helps you stay motivated to stay on programme and get well again.I continue to visit even after recovery to have the amazing team at MTP help me rebuild my body for a healthy next stage of life so I can keep as active as long as possible.My sincerest thanks to you all.

The best physio on Sydney's North Shore! MTP Health's physiotherapy clinic is in the heart of St. Leonards, just a short walk up from Crows Nest shops. Luke and his physio team have helped me on numerous occasions with my sports related injuries and niggles. Thanks guys :)

I have been seeing Brendan for the past 7 months to work on my on-going long term knee issues. He is attentive, knowledgeable and has developed a program that I am seeing great results from. He's very adaptive and adjusts the program as needed and I feel more confident in my movements. He listens and takes the time to understand the issues especially around my anxiety about reinjury and has been great in navigating this and making sure I am comfortable and confident in the exercises he gets me to do. I am experiencing less pain since starting with Brendan and cannot recommend him enough.

MTP was a FANTASTIC RECOMMENDATION … the MTP people are just so accommodating. Nothing is too much trouble and it’s been a great benefit to my body all round. I am fit and strong again
