Lauren E. Matteini, MD, FACS, FAAOS

Dr. Matteini is an excellent surgeon and has great compassion for her patients and families!!! I recommend her wholeheartedly!!!👍

She told me what was wrong honestly and straight forward. She made it simple and easy for me to understand. Thank you!

Amazing!! Knowledgeable, smart, friendly, competent. Everything you want in a physician. Staff is also great. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Matteini and this practice.

Clear explanations and answered my questions.

Great service and care!

Very reassuring to myself and my husband before surgery. Answered all questions and truly was wonderful!! Explained what would take place and explained how things went afterward. I felt so much at ease knowing she was taking care of my husband!

She’s a considerate, respectful the best

She explained everything regarding my upcoming surgery very clearly. Very nice too!

She’s great

Knowledgeable, understanding ,compasionate decisive . Good chairside mannerism.

Not happy with this Dr at all. She did no exam. She only looked at 1 of 2 x-rays taken. She asked me no personal questions about my pain such as on a 1 -10 how bad, Chronic or intermittent.How is your diet? I see you lost 50lbs. NOTHING About Me. Nothing has changed she says looking at my x-rays,so therefore my pain isn't real?3 years later after doing exactly what she told me 3 years ago? I felt dismissed by her flippant attitude. Rattled off her list of options yet offered no referrals. I came in looking for relief from chronic daily/nightly pain. No discussion about arthritis meds for pain or any pain meds except injections. No thank you. I left and burst into tears as I walked to my car. Her bedside manner is sorely lacking. For these reasons I will be looking for another Dr. I will not be prejudged by anyone, nor will I be a patient from one who makes assumptions about me,That is how I felt when I left and sat with my pain in my car crying.Thanks but no thanks Vivian Knell

Excellent Dr. Thank you for all your advise and guidance.. Fox Valley Orthopedic is the best and trust me I have been to many Dr's for years Thank You

Good bedside manner. Knowledgeable

Excellent. Accommodating and kind!

She’s a fantastic doctor and an even better person.

She is kind and compassionate towards her patients and also explains things well. She is great!

Excellent and very knowledge

She’s down to earth explains everything so you understand and genuinely seems to care. I had seen someone before her and he was a matter a fact with no compassion. Dr. Matteini totally opposite

Wonderful doctor❣️ makes you feel so relaxed...her staff is exceptional.

Professional and friendly.

Best doctor I have had. Great bedside manner, VERY knowledgeable, did wonders for my back,

Very Knowledgeable. Explained things thoroughly. Empathetic and reassuring. Professional doctor and office. Friendly nurses and assistants. Highly recommend.

Super nice. Explained entire surgery to me and what she'd be doing. Answered all my questions.

I had high hopes for this visit as I needed a new physician to assist with my back pain. I felt that Dr Matteini didn’t read my file coming into the room - if she did she would have seen that I was already on a medication she suggested and that a test she suggested would be difficult due to my health condition. She was surprised when I discussed both with her. She also commented on my weight in a way that was demeaning. I expected better from her and the practice.

Dr Matteni is an exceptional Dr who operated on me previously with great results. She is thorough and patient and explains things in an understandable fashion I leave with the comfort off knowing I am getting the best possible advise

Very friendly and informative . I would recommend her .

Dr Matteini is the best. She had a wonderful bedside manner, and helped me in a time when I was in so much pain. I am so grateful for her expertise, and surgical skills. I’m one day out from surgery and feel like a different person.

One of my favorite doctors ever.

Dr. Matteini is very kind, caring and professional. She spent time with me to explain my condition and treatment options. I wish all doctors were like her. Thank you Dr. Matteini for making me feel better!

Very knowledgeable; discussed alternate therapies to surgical Intervention

Wonderful care!

True professional

Professional, informative, listened well and answered my questions. Thank you!

Dr.Matteini is breath of fresh air. She listen to me we put a plan in place after six weeks and working on that plan. I still felt the same. We’ve decided to do surgery to fix the problem. I appreciate her professionalism her empathy, her compassion I trust her as a physician, it’s been a long time since I’ve been able to say that thank you

Would not recommend; Dr. Matteini was condescending, did not listen to my concerns, and lacked compassion.

Dr Matteini is the best at what she does. I’m so happy with the outcome of my spinal fusion.

She was very friendly and explained everything.

Dr. Matteini was fantastic and prescribed PT. If my PT works I will have to give her a 5.

Good initial visit

Very informative and professional. Lauren listened to my concerns.

Excellent experience with Dr. Lauren Matteini. She took her time talking with me and explaining what was going on with my back. You can tell she likes what she does and has great people skills.

Dr Matteini evaluated my X-rays, asked questions and proposed a treatment plan. I was able to schedule an appointment with a pain doctor for the next week. A PT order was sent and I will begin new PT next week. Dr Matteini inspires trust. Thanks!

Super personable, easy to talk too!

My wife mentioned that this is exactly the Dr I need. Straight forward and to the point. I loved visiting with her.

Great job 👏

Great experience with Dr. Lauren. She answered all of my questions and gave me a plan to be pain free going forward. Very happy I picked her to treat my back issue. I would highly recommend her.

Straight and forward that is great.

The lady is awesome. Very professional and personable. I would highly recommend her to anyone with back problems

Rushed our visit a bit

Dr. Matteini was so great on explaining everything in todays visit. I didn't realize the pain in my back was so severe until the x-rays. She let me know on what to do after the visit so well. I live in Crystal Lake so I wish she practiced in this area. Maybe she'll think about it. She made my day of pain go away

She was very helpful in explaining everything to me and answering all my questions.

Very thorough , kind manner , positive attitude

She explained everything to me and answered all my questions!

Very thorough , knowledgeable and professional.

She was direct, concise, and explained everything well. Also…great shoes.

When she entered the room, she started drilling me about what I was doing to help myself. She spoke to me in a rude and demeaning way. I left there feeling like I caused my condition and was very sad, depressed and lost any hope I had. She also told me I was too young to have surgery, I am 48. So I have to wait 20 more years to get relief? I don't understand what age has to do with my condition...I was born with and have been in horrible pain since I was 16. She was training at the time of my visit. I felt bad for the girl in training too. She is by far the meanest doctor I have ever met. Not because of her treatment plan but it was how she spoke to me. I left there crying and felling defeated.

did not have x-rays to discuss in depth the problem(s) I'm having with my back, and she did not suggest taking their own set of pictures?

Very good doctor. New her stuff. Got me on my way

Took the time to answer all my questions very professional and compassionate.

Excellent visit

I love her! She was informative, friendly and supportive.

Excelente service thank you for your help

Dr. Lauren Matteini performed surgery on my spine allowing me to walk again up to 3 miles at a time 6 weeks after surgery. Highly Recommended!

SWEETEST Doctor! I’m so thankful for the care and kindness Dr. Matteini and her office provide!

Dr Matteini and staff are excellent!!

Dr. Matteini is the most unpleasant physician I have ever encountered. She walked into the exam room and started YELLING that I was too old to be treated and I'd just have to deal with it. (Severe pain.) She should not be in medicine in any capacity.

Dr.

Very direct and informative about the steps needed to become healthy again!!!

Experienced and up to date with current procedures and options. Answers questions and spends time with patient to make them feel comfortable about diagnosis and plan of action.

Dr. Matteini was thoughtful, professional and respectful. She listened and explained and, clearly, knows her stuff.

very professional. very helpful.

Excellent staff from the minute I walked the door. Dr. Lauren Matteini was highly personable, heard my concerns, and took the time to answer them thoroughly.

I LOVE DR. MATTEINI!!

Dr. Metteini was wonderful. She really took her time communicating with me and answering my questions very thoroughly. She made me feel so comfortable and I appreciate her knowledge and care that she put forth for me. Highly recommend Dr. Metteini!

Courteous, informative. Willing to answer questions.

Dr Matteini is a wonderful honest doctor who listens and shows compassion ❤

A good doctor knows what questions to ask. She knows how to talk down to a patient. Never been humiliated at a doctor's office until now.

I liked Dr. Matteini instantly…I think she has such a nice Dr./ patient repour, and she seems to sincerely care!

she takes the time to answer your questions and very nice to talk with ! 😊

Shes the worst Biggest waste of time of a doctor; there was no point in me going out of my way to get my moms’ CT scans & records to bring to her—bad doctor!!!

Very friendly and explained everything

Seems to know her specialty. Straight forward - no nonsense or ambivalence. "bedside manner" - relating to patient on the low end. PA much better with that.

Dr Matteini is excellent in her knowledge and care in her Field. I had a lot of Leg Pain and thanks to her advanced procedure that she performed on me my Leg Pain is gone!

Very caring and insightful.

Lauren tells it like it is! She’s direct, but compassionate and caring. Uses common sense and logic in her explanations of conditions. Articulate and uses humor wisely and correctly.

I appreciate her expertise. The first 2 office visits I had with her were very good. Today I left very frustrated. I took time to reflect and have basically came to the conclusion that I am not sure she is interested in helping me.

Enjoyed meeting her and hope she can help me as a patient.

Seemed full of herself, over confident, pompous not relatable or empathetic to the patient's pain. I can't stand doctors who don't believe their patients.

Very kind and careing

Dr. Lauren Matteini reviewed my X-Rays I brought and took 2 additional views and diagnosed my problem and referred me to doctor Dabah for pain management.
