Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. John Matthew is thorough and attentive to patient care.

I saw Dr. Matthews as a second opinion for my shoulder. He fixed my torn labrum. I am so happy I went to him for a second opinion. Extremely knowledgeable and does a great job explaining the injury and surgery. I felt very comfort throughout the entire process. Very happy with my recovery!!

I thought the doctor gave me quality time and listened. I have questions as a follow up after thinking about the visit and don't quite know how to get these answered.

Don’t waste your time or money
1. My arm was hurting for months and my primary care doctor says it’s tendonitis or bursitis and sends me to an orthopedist for a steroid shot.2. I see Dr. Matthews who says no shot, you have to do physical therapy first. He gives me a brace and tells me to wear it all the time. 3. I do 6 weeks of physical therapy, am feeling MUCH better, until my last week of therapy when the therapist ignores my pain and re-injures my arm.4. I see Dr. Matthews for follow up. He says “Why are you wearing that brace? It’s all wrong.” I tell him about the physical therapy debacle. He says not to bother going back. Asks me who referred me to that physical therapist. I say YOU DID. 5. He tells me he can do surgery, with no guarantee it will work. I say no, he says “then what do you want? You want the shot?” I decline and he tells me he can’t help me. I spent $490 in copays for doctors and PT, and the brace, waste hours of my time, and got zero help. He should refund every penny.
