He has the magic hands. I was in so much pain for a long time. A lot of orthopedic doctors just passed me on to a pain management dr. Who ended up doing nothing to get me out of pain. I went o see Dr Matthew’s and he genuinely cared about getting me out of pain. We looked at my XRays which he said my hip was a mess but after he went in there and cleaned it all up I’d be as good as new. And he did exactly that. I’ve never been so grateful for what this doctor did for me and I can’t thank him enough. He cares about getting his patients out of pain. And dedicated to his work. That’s what makes dr. Matthew’s such a great doctor.

Doctor Matthews did a great job. I don’t believe in snake oil remedies, but instead of painkillers he listened and gave me good advice. Also I am following his instructions to the tee and it’s working. Thank you. I never leave reviews, but he earned this one. Great doctor.
