Dr Matlock is just simply the very best at what he does. Unbelievably good at diagnosing and treating and the whole staff there is amazing too
Dr Matlock is the BEST! He has treated my entire family, including my daughter who had to have extensive shoulder surgeries in both shoulders! These surgeries were a complete success and she is doing wonderful! He had also treated both my husband and me for knee issues. Highly recommend Dr. Matlock!
