Best surgeon in the world.
Very professional and also very friendly.
I saw Matt for a shoulder that had been damaged for quite a long time. I was given the surgical option of the easy route, one that should last a low-activity person the rest of his life...or the "Cadillac version" that will last me indefinitely. As someone who pushes the limits every day, of course I chose the Cadillac version and it was brutal. (Disclaimer, I don't take pain pills, this is my 10th major surgery... knees, shoulders, back, etc.) Throughout the process, the pain, the frustration, Matt always listened to me. He came up with solutions. He very clearly explained what was happening with my shoulder, and continued ordering tests to ensure we were on the right path. Matt truly wanted me to get better. A few months post-op and my confidence is back, my shoulder is strong. Bottom line, this doctor cares. Thanks Matt.
Fantastic impression at initial consultation. Very personable and explained the issues in a way that was easy to understand.
He is the best! He always listens.
