- I found Mr Liew from Top Doctors and having read many of those reviews, I decided that I would like him to carry out my procedure. I can whole heartly say that am delighted with the outcome of the the operation. Mr Liew is caring and professional in his approach to patient care.
- Mr Liew explained the whole process at the first meeting and through all stages prior to and following the operation. I found him to be very professional, polite and supportive. Highly recommended - thank you.
- Mr Liew performed a HoLEP operation on me in January 2025 and throughout he has been clear with his explanations of the procedure, caring and professional giving me the confidence I needed. Post surgery he was reassuring and he has given me a new lease of life. Highly recommended
- I was seen by Mr Liew at Spire Manchester Hospital on 05/02/2025. I was there to discuss the Holep prostate surgery procedure that I had on 31/10/2024. The procedure went very well. The whole experience has been a total success from start to finish. Mr Liew is very professional.
- I could not have asked for a better surgeon than Dr Liew, from the first appointment to discuss the HoLEP procedure, to post after care, the whole process has been seamless. He is not only a technically gifted surgeon but also empathetic and compassionate. I highly recommend him.Doctor's response -Many thanks for your kind review. Best wishes. Matt Liew
- I do not have the slightest hesitation in recommending Mr Matthew Liew. He carried out the HoLEP procedure for me and the result is amazing he has changed my life - no more worrying about where the nearest loo is and no catheter! Thank you so much.Doctor's response -Many thanks for your very kind review Mr Roberts. It was a pleasure. So pleased that you are happy with the results of the HoLEP surgery. Best wishes. Mr Liew
- Excellent consultation with Mr Lieu. The IT and portal set-up by TopDoctors is abysmal. Once the introduction to the medical professional it would simpler for the patient to deal directly with the doctor and his staff rather than having an inefficient third party intervening.
- I felt that I was in the very best of hands when I was recently treated by Dr Liew (Holep procedure). I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. Many thanks.
- Mr Liew is a fantastic surgeon and a lovely person. Personable, approachable and very professional. I would highly recommend him and I will use his services without question should the need arise in the future.
