Matthew Wilkening, M.D.

Very professional and explained everything clearly so I was able to understand

He has given me my 40's back!

Best chance I have to recover from this injury. Would highly recommend this surgeon.

Not only are Dr. Wilkenings credentials stellar, but I have found him to be consistently mild mannered, polite and patient with me. He took the time to explain all of my testing results and the reasons for his recommendations and he welcomed my follow up questions. He approaches treatment and surgery cautiously and conservatively. When I asked for a referral for a second opinion, he did not discourage it. As it turned out, the second opinion endorsed his recommendation.

Thorough MD, kind too.

Outstanding surgeon.

Very knowledgeable, friendly and excellent surgeon!

Great doctor and very personable.

Where I went just before coming here was substandard compared to the thorough and well explained examination I received here with Dr. Wilkening.

Been seeing Dr. Wilkening for over 3 years. Best surgeon I’ve ever used.

never see a Doctor that requires a PA gatekeeper ! Thinks too much of himself!

Great surgeon! He did amazing work on me! Thank You Dr Wilkening

AWESOME is all that I can say!!! 10 stars **********. After a 7+ hour surgery, I was pain free and ready to dance out of the hospital 2 days later. Walking almost a mile within days and now 6 months later I feel 30 years younger with more mobility, more energy and NO PAIN!!!

Dr Wilkening has given me back my active life at 76. Honest, sincere and ready to take a challenge.

Listens well, asked relevant questions, answered our questions well, a good review of X-Rays, stated his objective opinion regarding the feasibility of further surgery and potential risks, obvious concern about my health despite limited opportunity to resolve, recommended a follow-up appointment for CT scans and review, both of which we are awaiting appointments. Most urgent! Much daily pain!

For 10 days I had suffered incredible pain that could not be resolved. When I woke up from my surgery by Dr Wilkening it was as if someone had flicked a light switch. No more pain!

I've not yet had my surgery, but I can say that Dr. Wilkening has been nothing but clear and concise, in our meetings. Also, I've heard nothing but rave reviews from people who have had him for back surgery and other things and have had nothing but praises for his work.

Doesn't try to rush you and very thorough.

Doctor Wilkening has excellent bedside manner and goes above and beyond for his patients. I feel so fortunate to be in his care for one of the most challenging obstacles I face in life. Without a doubt he is one of the best doctors I have met.

He was excellent in explaining my case with you me. He takes the time that you need to fully understand any procedure that you will be going through. I wish every doctor would do the same.

Dr. Wilkening respects each patient. He took the time to research my previous surgeries and did not push me into making a quick decision. When he is with meeting with you you have his full attention.

Dr. Wilkening cares about his patients. He spends the extra time to listen, understand and use his expertise to come up with the best solution for you as an individual. Big heart. Great care.

Two of my daughters have scoliosis and have seen Dr Wilkening. The severity of their curves and their personalities are very different. Dr Wilkening has been responsive and catered both treatment and approach to their individual needs. We are very satisfied and would highly recommend him!
