Why we are for you:
Dr Anne Malatt chooses to work in solo practice because she works in a unique way. She schedules longer appointment times than is usual, so that there is enough time to talk with you, examine your eyes and discuss your treatment options. She offers you the safest, least invasive, and most healing treatment available (which sometimes means surgery).
Anne believes in restoring and maintaining health and wellbeing through self-care. She knows that your eyes are part of you, and a reflection of the whole of you. She understands the importance of a healthy diet and lifestyle, with time for exercise, rest and play, and is willing to discuss these issues with you as they relate to your eyes, for she knows that “the part can never be well unless the whole is well”.
Anne practises mainstream medicine and is open to your use of other therapies. She is interested in all forms of energy and in healing. She knows that medicine is a healing art as well as an ever evolving science.

Dr Anne Malatt
When you come to see Doctor Anne Malatt, we will make the experience as enjoyable as we can. Many people find it stressful to see any doctor, let alone one who looks in your eyes, and some find that having problems with their eyes is frightening and/or frustrating. We understand this and offer lovely helpful staff and a relaxed and caring waiting room, which we do our best not to keep you waiting too long in, as we don't like being kept waiting either!
