Several months ago I started to experience some pain in my right elbow.
This condition steadily worsened until such time it was preventing me from hindering me from carrying out my duties.
Several people diagnosed my condition and informed me I would need a cortisone injection.
Rather than take the advice of these self appointed doctors I made an appointment with Michael at his clinic. After an initial medical questionairre Michael diagnosed the condition and more importantly explained (with the help of his mute assistant bones) exactly what had happened and how to treat the condition. Several appointments and "wandango" treatments later I no longer feel the pain in my elbow.
It is refreshing to visit a medical professional and receive plain plain and precise information and actually receive the treatment you need immediately.
I will now recommend Michaels services to everyone without hesitation.

My wife and I visited Michael Mew of Riverview Clinics today regarding her long term back problem and disability.
We had previously provided Michael with a copy of her extensive MRI scan. Michael took the time to study these scans and the attached radiologist reports prior to our appointment and unlike the NHS doctors was willing to take the time to sit down and explain in detail the report and its associated scans.
The sign of a true healthcare professional is when they put the patient welfare at as their top priority, do not try and profit from their patient's condition and don't make false promises as to what they can achieve for their patients. Michael exceeded in each.
My wife left Michaels practice feeling informed and empowered to make decisions regarding her own health, without any pressure to 'buy' any service from Michael. For this we cannot thank Michael enough and would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending his service.

I would like to take this opportunity of thanking you for the quality of your assistance and resolve in helping me through the last two years of problems with my left foot primarily and removing the gout problem which is now in remission for two and half years, and other assistance on muscular problems as they have arisen to follow them through to a satisfactory conclusion.
I would have no hesitation in recommending you and your services as an Osteopath and Doctor of Chinese Medicine to anyone that needed assistance with muscle or bone problems.

When I first sought help from you, I was taking eight pain killers tablets a day.
After our initial consultation, you suggested I had an MRI scan, which is something my regular GP thought was completely unnecessary.
You proved to be 100% right and my GP 100% wrong, and following this scan, you have successfully diagnosed the problem. With your considerate care, skill and patient attention, I can now get through the day without having to resort to so much medication.
Before I consulted you, I had been suffering with my condition evey day for eight months. Now, the condition is consistenly improving. For the first time I can now see that I have a prospect of a complete recovery.
I simply cannot praise you enough. You are certainly at the top of your profession. You are worth every penny of your fees. Please feel free to show this letter to anyone who is considering approaching you. I have no problem in you disclosing my personal details, diagnosis and treatment to anyone.

I originally accompanied my wife for her treatment at Riverview Clinics and during the conversation with Michael Mew I mentioned stiffness in my neck.
This was the result of whiplash during a car accident 8 years ago and my GP advised me it would not improve.
Michael was not so sure and suggested I book an appointment.
Michael's approach is 'whole body' and started with a thorough physical examination and medical hisory where it became apparent that the lower back pain which I regularly suffered was actually caused by the non-painful stiff neck.
As a fully qualified Osteopath Michael's medical knowledge is excellent and this is accompanied by a reassuring 'bedside manner' which instils condidence in his abilities.
I am pleased to say that several weeks now since completing the course of treatment at Michael's clinic both the stiff neck and the back pains are a thing of the past.
I can certainly recommend the professional Osteopathic services provided by Michael Mew at Riverview Clinics.

Thank you so much for the fantastic service provided to my wife Tina yesterday. We are both very grateful to you for managing to see her at such short notice.
Tina is naturally a bit sceptical about treatment but as I had already benefited from you professional service she was persuaded by me to see you. She commented how thorough you were and immediately felt the benefit from the treatment and will make the Bank Holiday weekend a lot more bearable.
Many, many thanks again. I would certainly have no hesitation recommending your service and Tina made the same remark.
