Excellent
Very easy to talk to, understanding
On time, well organized, good insights.
Dr. Matsen is everything you’d want in a surgeon. She always has time to answer all my questions and explain what she’s planning on doing. Most surgeons have terrible bedside manner but not Dr. Matsen! This will be my second knee replacement and I’m sure it will go as smoothly as the other knee she replaced. That procedure went so well and I attribute my speedy recovery to Dr. Matsen’s skill and expertise. She’s definitely the best!
Always exceptional
On time appointment, Dr Matsen was thorough, patient and informative, answered all my questions and gave me good options.
Appreciate her directness and expertise. Her PA Rob is also awesome
She was very professional and did an excellent job with my hip replacement.
Dr. Matsen is very competent as well as comfortable to interact with. She performed my hip replacement surgery in 2018 and has treated my knees with steroid injections since. I trust her and recommend her to anyone needing orthopedic treatment or consultation.
Through, kind, attentive.
