Dr Mathias is great and I have no issues with his care . However, I ended up waiting an hour and 10 min for my appt. I understand even a 30 min delay but as my appt was a morning one , it’s difficult to understand over an hour wait at that time of the morning .
He is a wonderful! Doctor!! Great bedside manners and caring!!
Super easy to communicate with, very compassionate and very accommodating.
The very best hand doctor I gave been to. Very professional and caring doctor. Highly recommend Dr. Matthias.
Amazing
I found Dr Matthias‘ bedside manner to be very comforting. Have a further appointment in a month to decide on future treatment.
Always answers any questions we have. I’m very thankful to have him as my Physician. I trust him and would recommend him for your Orthopedic needs. All staff are excellent!
He listens and,explains very well. Makes you feel comfortable
Excellent
I think Dr. Matthias is a good doctor. I do have one complaint, my wait time was over 30 minutes. In fact, I had to open the door to the patient room 1) because I started thinking that I was forgotten and 2) it was warm in that patient room and after a long day at work, rush home, let my dogs out, rush to Florida Orthopedic, no dinner, I was exhausted and the wait and warm room didn’t help. To his credit, Dr. Matthias apologized, but I still ended up eating dinner after 8:00, and my poor dogs ate after 8:00 as well. They were very upset.
