Caring, skilled MD, very pleased with his care
Extremely professional, knowledgeable and friendly
Very positive vibes, didn't feel rushed and liked his philosophy on taking care of people.
They Helped with my 2 kids! Very nice staff and doctor.
Professional with a welcoming and caring demeanor. Great experience
Timely, considerate, professional, with great integrity!
Did a great job on my hand
I went to Dr. Matthias for a second opinion. He took the less invasive approach and started me on PT instead of recommending surgery. PT has worked and it saved me a very long recovery. The PT office in Ocala is top notch too.
He was excellent
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 .
