I have worked with Dr. Matlock as a medical equipment vendor for years. I am very happy he is working in Yorkville and he got my daughter in quickly. He is a great doctor and took great care of my daughter.
I received information I could understand followed up by X-rays showing area of concern. Then was given a game plan that could bring relief to some of my knee pain. I’m glad I found Dr Matlock it was good to hear something different than what my last 3 doctors were saying.
