Excellent surgeon with an impeccable bedside manor
She’s so personable, tuned in, listens, asks questions, positive! Her skill as a surgeon is fantastic as she’s replaced both my hips and I’m doing so incredibly well!
Direct, kind, informative
Went just fine, moments before surgery isn’t a lot of time, but she checked in with me and everything was fine
Simply put, Dr. Matson gave me my life back. With two hip replacements, I regained my mobility and lost over 80 pounds. Have scheduled a knee replacement with her and looking forward to continued terrific results.
I was pleased with meeting Dr. Matson for the 1st time. She was attentive & listened to all my concerns. And figured out some steps to do next in dealing with my situation. Thank you.
Excellent
Very easy to talk to, understanding
On time, well organized, good insights.
