He had a very good bed side manner. And we didn’t have a long wait.
He handles my concerns every time I visit the office
The appointment was quickly scheduled and Matt assessed the issue with my son's knee and removed the fluid causing immediate relief. All around a great experience.
He listens to you, is very smart at what he does, and if he doesn’t do what type of surgery is needed he knows exactly who can. Thank you Dr Handling for your hard truth and help.
Always very professional, kind, and takes the time to understand how my day-to-day impacts my health.
Very friendly and gave good advise on my condition! Definitely recommend him!
Always had a good experience with him.
He is the best, have taken care of me and a number of friends and family
Exceptional person. Provides information regarding circumstances, is probative regarding symptoms, makes substantive comments, and offers actions on how to proceed.
Couldn’t be happier with how he managed my son’s diagnosis and treatment.
