Loved him
Very caring! Shows true concern for your issue. Just live his “bedside” manner.
wonderful person, great personality..
Very knowledgeable, explains everything, asks if you have any questions at all, takes his time with you, very personable and easy to talk to.
Excellent compassionate and professional.
I fell and broke pretty badly the metacarpal bones of my right ring and small fingers. Dr. Matthias is someone whose picture should be in the definition of " doctor" in the dictionary. He is good at what he has been doing, he is kind, honest, and attentive. Although his schedule is always full but I never felt being rushed. After surgery, in between my appointments, I had some concern about pain, his schedule was full, he called us and casually said that he was going to stop by our house to check on my hand. It was after his working hour, about 6 p.m. He said after he grabbed something to eat, he would stop by to check. And he did. You only have that kind of doctor 50 years ago, your family doctor living in the same neighborhood. He doesn't live very far from us but he didn't have to do that at all. I pray that I never have to see him again, but if you ever are in the position to need a doctor for hands, elbows, shoulders, his expertise, Dr. Matthias is the one you come to.
Great doctor. Very personable. Easy to talk to.
Excellent experience, Dr Matthias was unhurried, listened to me, presented all the treatment options.
Very nice and listened to everything and explained everything
Dr Matthias is a very dedicated physician and is very knowledgeable and understanding
