First time seeing Dr Matthias. He is a very pleasant man. He is patient and calm presence. I was very nervous because I decided to get a shot in my finger. They failed to tell me how painful it would be. The nurse never came in to see how I was after the procedure. I had cried and screamed from the pain. Not even offered a glass of water to regain my composure before leaving. Then, I end up having a reaction while driving home. My entire head was itching, my lower lip swelled on one side, my body was itching on different parts. I was scared thinking my throat may close.
I stopped at CVS and took two Benadryl gel caps. No one prepared me for what had occurred. I had never gotten any cortisone injections in my life.
But the bad part of this is that I could not get a hold of the office because all the computer and AI technology. I had to leave a message! They ended up calling me back after all that had happened the Benadryl had taken effect and the terrible itching decreased. Scary day

Dr Matthias is a kind and generous person. He took the time to address my needs and implemented the proper care and I would recommend him to anybody needing orthopedic help with their hands and wrists.
