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.

He is a great doc and all of the staff are absolutely amazing!!!

I was injured in a horse back riding accident a few years ago and my left hip developed avascular necrosis. The damage to the joint was extensive because I had waited so long to seek treatment. Dr Matza was very direct - very professional. He struck me as being highly proficient and I felt confident in having him perform my hip replacement. Three months post surgery, I was riding horses again! 3.5 years later, I've had zero issues and am more athletic than ever. I highly recommend Dr. Matza

I had an ACL injury many years ago - 1980 to be a bit more exact - Dr. Matza approached the treatment very conservatively at first and used surgery as a last resort. He opted to correct the problem by using a "Modified McIntosh Procedure" in October 1982. I am happy to report that the long term benefits of this procedure were beneficial. Thirty-six years later and the knee is doing fine. The only thing I have to remember the procedure is a rather ugly scar on my left knee.
