Dr. David Matusiak, DO

Let me start by saying how disappointed my wife and I are with the lack of information provided when scheduling same day pediatric appointments. We were under the impression that our 7 year old daughter was going to be seen by another doctor. We were intentionally trying to avoid seeing Dr. Matusiak from negative past appointments. When we arrived and were waiting to see the doctor, we expected that the system worked properly and we would be seeing a female doctor (can’t remember her name), then in walked the doctor we were avoiding Dr. David Matusiak. My wife wanted to get up and walk out immediately but our daughter needed immediate care. In classic form Dr. Matusiak was rude, and for the second time made our daughter cry by forcefully pushing a tongue depressor too hard and too far down her throat. He was in and out in 5 minutes after giving a diagnosis. This man should NOT be a pediatrician! Zero bedside manner! Avoid this man at all costs!

Dr. Matusiak spent about a minute in the room. Cut me off when I tried to ask questions, was impatient with my son, and was overall rude. Will never let him near my son again!

Dr. Matusiask is incredibly intelligent, professional and truly is talented in what he does. He is unique and quirky but truly cares about his patients. I relocated here and he was assigned to me for my newborn and I have never needed to look elsewhere. He is kind, funny and places us at ease when it comes to our child’s health needs and questions. For this reason, I give him 5 stars. He is an amazing doctor.

Horrible!! Took my son for his 2 month visit. The doctor came in with his laptop, sat down and just started reading off things as if checking things off of a list. I raised some concerns about his 2 month requirements and he became very upset and was not able to give me any answers. Instead he was very condescending and unhelpful! In fact, he made me feel bad for even having concerns. He also advised me that due to my concerns specifically about vaccinations for my child I would be kicked out of the practice and I would need to find a new doctor for my 2 month old son because him and his practice would no longer take care of him. I am so very Disappointed that providers like this exist especially in healthcare! He said his priority was the health of my son but yet he dropped him from ever returning for care. I thought doctors take a hippo oath to help everyone yet he refuses to help my son due to concerns I have that are contrary to his. He walked out of the room slammed the door and didn’t return. What a horrible and rude doctor.

Dr walked in the room and asked my daughter what grade she was in. My daughter thought he asked her which ear hurt (as we were there for her ear feeling clogged and a bad cough) and she points to her ear that bothered her. To which he replied so rudely “I SAID WHAT GRADE ARE YOU IN?” My daughter looked so embarrassed. I told him my concerns but he was fixed on his laptop not really interacting with my daughter or myself. He didn’t even prescribe her anything after stating she had an ear infection and that she sounded congested upon listening to her breathing. He just walked out the room. First time experiencing something like this at this hospital. Everyone is usually super friendly.

Dr. Matusiak is great. I am a first time mom and he has given me the best tips and advice. I always have a list of questions to ask and he takes time and patience to answer all of them.

We decided to switch doctors. The drive is now far but also felt very rushed the whole appointment. He didn’t seem to care to interact with my daughter. Sometimes rough in the exam and then running out the door afterwards with barely any time to ask questions.

Always very nice, always making sure if we have any questions. Explaining and making sure we understand the care our child receives. Very hands on

He is always pleasant, engaging, respectful and makes sure you have everything you need in care.

Been coming to Dr. Matusiak for my 2 kids for 17 years. Good doctor with the kids. My problem is that we have been referred 3 times out of network and have had to foot the bill. When brought up, the office comment was "Too Bad". That did not sit well with us. They need to quit referring paople to other hospitals and out-of network offices. I can't believe Elmhurst doesn't have the office refer people within the Elmhurst Hospital realm.

He is the best. Straight shooter.

Dr. Matusiak has been my 3 kids pediatrician since they were born. All 3 are now in college! He is wonderful, attentive, caring and professional. It was very comforting to know he was there for my family when my kids were sick. I trusted him with my children’s well being and would do it all over again.

Excellent physician - thorough and smart. He really listens to the parents and patients that he cares for and has a wonderful demeanor.
