Dr Matsen is amazing! Her care for my well being is always paramount. I have had two total hip replacements a few years ago, and now have a more active life (& certainly no pain).
Thank you Dr Matsen!

Dr Laura Matsen is a great orthopedic surgeon. She listens to what you have to say. Excellent surgeon. I’m 7 weeks post op, and I walk w/o a cane or walker. I have ROM 0/122. Even takes time out on a surgery day, called me to her office after I fell on a new operated knee to make sure there was no damage to the knee. She is thoughtful and concerned about her patients.
