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.

Well apparently I'm not going to be the only one that's making reviews about Travis matson. I am still in pain with yes and now obstructive kidney stone. But apparently you and the radiologist miss something because I did go back to my appointment with my PCP a week later like that's the only thing that you recommended I do when you discharge me, I had to get that CT repeated because they found blood in my urine which you said all my labs were normal right just like you drug tested me because you said I was there drug seeking! I agree with some of the other comments about Travis Matson as far as bedside manners. I should get my chart out since I do go to my phone in clinics all around here and read the notes that you wrote in your dictation that when you discharge me I was fine no I did not say I was fine. I didn't ask you for anything did I as far as pain relief as far as antibiotic as far as am I going to pass this or not you stated more than once but I shouldn't even be feeling any

He assaulted me. I went to the ER with a toothache and out of the blue he SHOVED his hand into my abdomen in a spot that my records clearly indicate I have chronic pain. If I had seen him coming I would have protected myself.

Arrogant, argumentative, condescending and no apparent empathy or interest in the patient. I was horrified by some of the statements he made during a traumatic experience. I will never allow him to treat me or anyone I know.

Went into the emergency room with health issues and Dr. Mattson's bedside manor made it appear as if I was interrupting something that he was doing. He found that I had influenza, which is not what I went in for, and sent me home. Complete waste of time. He didn't appear to care at all about anything else, except for getting me out of his space.

As a healthy individual who has only been to the ER twice, both times to support family, I found this experience horrifying. This man spent less than 3 min. with us. He hardly listened to anything we said. Although we were in excruciating pain, he showed no empathy. He discharged us having accomplished nothing and recommending we make another appointment a week later. I couldn't imagine a worse doctor. I'm sure he would disagree given his arrogance. He seemed pretty impressed with himself.

Dr Mattson, bedside manner needs improvement. Poor quality in explaining treatment plan of action.

Dr. Mattson was in & out of the exam room after a long wait. He thought he was god and we were stupid patient that knew nothing. A nurse gave us our paper work upon discharge. No explanation of treatment other than from paperwork. Highly unprofessional with a rotten personality.

What an arrogant provider. I wouldn't recommend this provider to anyone. He barely did an exam while in the emergency room. No explanation of services or course of action was explained. He was highly unprofessional in his bed side manner. He was disrespectful to the patient.
