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.

Dismissive
The Dr had her mind made up before even meeting me. Because she wasn't going to do surgery on my neck she rushed through history, did a half-a$$ assessment and offered nothing for inflammation to reduce pain. Don't waste your time or your co-pay.

I was happy to learn that I could stop the epidural injections. The physical therapy Dr. Recommend is already paying off. I walked 3/4 mile this morning pain free. I should have gone here 3 years ago.

Knowledgeable but too hurried
Did not take the time or effort to listen to me about what was injured and how, even though I’m a health professional myself!!

Waste of time
Save your time and money and search YouTube for physical therapy exercises. If you don't require surgery you won't get any more help than you could get from Google. I'd give her a zero, but maybe she is a good surgeon. Otherwise "walk it off" is the type of advice I expect from a little league coach, not somebody who is an expert in the field.

Wonderful caring doctor!
Doctor Matteini is a doctor that works with you to find the best solution. I had surgery with Dr. Matteini and she explained and took her time. She answered all my questions before surgery, at the hospital and each post surgery check up. I highly recommend her.

Great Genuine Care
Dr Matteini showed great personal care. She took time to listen well and respond in a way that proved it was about what’s best for me. Turned out I only need PT and she was happy with me in that I don’t need more…. Great great person!

Best Doctor Ever
Dr. Matteini gave me back my quality of life. I had 4 failed back surgeries, 15 years of daily morphine and numerous procedures before I met Dr Matteini. Her surgical skills restored my quality of life which resulted in a pain free and drug free future. She is my miracle worker. Thank you. Tom Cogozxo

Severe Lower Back Pain
In early May I hurt my back while performing minor yard work. Days later the pain was so debilitating that I went to the ER and was referred to Doctor Matteini in the event things didn't clear up. Unfortunately the pain stayed so I scheduled an appointment with Doctor Matteini. She seemed hurried and as if her mind was made up about my condition before we even met. She then told me I have weak core muscles and prescribed physical even after being told I couldn't stand or sit. Went to another Specialist who gave me skeletal muscle relaxers and an MRI. Found out that I had multiple herniated discs and stenosis L1 - L5. The MRI was even performed after I was feeling better. A lot of missed time at work, lost money, and unnecessary agony.

1st visit….very satisfied
Dr Matteini was very attentive and professional. I felt like she really wanted to help me get better. I did not feel rushed and she listened to me. This is totally opposite from a doc I had seen 2 days prior from a different ortho group who was not helpful at all.

Went there for back pain. Found her very dismissive. Short, quick answers. Felt like she was in a rush to get out of the room. Recommended an unnecessarily high dose of NSAIDS. (800mg Q 8). I know a lot of quality doctors but I can’t recommend this one.
