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.

I absolutely love Dr Matos...he is very thorough and compassionate...after suffering for almost 3 years from a cervical spine infection...Dr Matos saved my life...best surgeon ever!

Dr. Ricardo Matos performed a miracle and transformed my life with his surgical expertise and talent. He fused my cervical spine. I went from severe, debilitating pain 27/7, practically bed ridden, to 100% recovered and completely pain free. I will be forever grateful!

Told me he would support me through my pain and encourage me not to get surgery. Superb decision that I didn't get surgery.

The doctor and his nurse are simply amazing. Unfortunately, they typically are the last people you meet when you go to an appointment. The receptionist is AWFUL! She is rude and inconsiderate. She utters and mumbles. No "thank you", no "you're welcome", no "please", no "good morning". Thank goodness that she has NOTHING to do with medical care. Otherwise, we'd all be doomed!!!!

You performed an XLIF on my back on L4-L-5 For years I have been in extreme pain. Suffering from a pinched nerve/sciatica. The surgery was on 9-11-08 I went everywhere trying to get relief. Back at your office & I was forwarded to a pain management clinic whereby they load you up with pills. They tried an epidural, nerve blocks & nothing helped. I tried physical therapy, deep tissue messages & acupuncture for years. No relief. Now lawsuits on this type of surgery as it causes nerve damage
