About Philip
Dr Philip Mathen is the Founder and Medical Director of Veritas Executive Health, a premium preventive health practice dedicated to helping individuals take a proactive and informed approach to their wellbeing. He is a strong advocate for preventive medicine and has spent more than 16 years providing comprehensive health assessments for corporate executives and private clients. Through this work, he has developed a reputation for delivering thoughtful, personalised care that empowers people to better understand their health and make meaningful, sustainable changes.
Before focusing on preventive medicine, Dr Mathen spent more than 30 years working in intensive care medicine. During this time, he cared for some of the most critically ill patients—many of whom required life support following open heart surgery, neurosurgery, and other major surgical procedures. While he witnessed the remarkable advances of modern acute care medicine, these experiences also shaped his belief that the greatest impact in healthcare comes from preventing serious illness before it occurs. This perspective deepened his commitment to the early detection and prevention of major conditions such as cardiovascular disease and cancer.
In 2020, Dr Mathen founded Veritas Executive Health with a clear vision: to create a medical practice that places the individual at the centre of care. His approach combines clinical expertise with time, attentiveness, and genuine partnership with his clients. He is passionate about delivering healthcare that is not only evidence-based and thorough, but also compassionate, personalised, and practical for busy professionals seeking to optimise their long-term health.
Dr Mathen is known for his calm and thoughtful manner, and for building trusted relationships with his clients. His goal is simple: to help people understand their health more clearly, reduce their future risk of disease, and live longer, healthier lives.
