Anton Matveev is a liar, has a horrible patient side manner to include assault & a terrible memory…read more Upon my 1st visit I was explaining military incidents & VA treatments & he asked if I was sure I was receiving that treatment. I think it's unprofessional to ask me if I'm lying about VA treatment. Matveev could of asked for my clinical notes to read the specifics so that a patient doesn't know his internal feelings that he thinks we're liars or can't remember our specific treatment methods. At that same visit, even though I brought all my MRI discs in with me, he was dismissive & stated he believes my pain only stems from my neck & radiates downward. I reiterated the neck & other locations happened different years in the military & are separate. I showed him the report & told him they uploaded my MRI of my other location. Matveev then said he can do an ultrasound & take a look to verify. Upon doing an ultrasound he stated he did see the injuries BUT he never apologized for being dismissive. Matveev discussed hydrodissection & I asked for the ingredients since I'm allergic to some things. He gave it to me & I looked it up & told him that was ok to use on me. We set a follow-up appt BUT at that follow-up appt for my 1st set of injections I'm asking him about the specifics and he wouldn't answer me. After the injections he tells me he altered the procedure & didn't use dextrose because he thought I was allergic. I had to remind him that I looked it up in front of him & told him it was ok. I also told him I'm not use to a medical employee not going over the procedure prior to it starting. You can't make a decision without an individual approving that beforehand. A patient's body is not "property" of anyone. Matveev also unprofessionally compared my injuries to other patients my age. Since I'm not an identical twin in DNA to anyone & you don't treat my blood related family, then you can't compare me to strangers. To have an idea about a person's potential "degenerative" path, you must compare older blood family members such as siblings, parents and/or grandparents. If my blood related elders are perfectly healthy in their bone structure and joints etc., then my injuries incurred in my 20s have nothing to do with "normal degenerative" findings for a person my age based off of strangers my age. This verbiage is a constant unprofessional take on individualized care. Matveev then wanted to talk about my aggravated body language & why I seem I'm displeased when he speaks. So I discussed the above with him. I told him my pet peeve is being called a liar & you don't know me, so speaking in that manner is always going to set me off. Then I said do you know how often a female is asked questions like "are you sure you own this home by yourself?..." etc. Matveev only then humbled himself & said he now hears it & apologized for his verbiage. My last appointment which was the final straw. I told him that the VA did a painful procedure (because I keep all physicians informed in different networks). He asked me to stand up & face the wall away from him while he sat behind me. He grabbed my shoulders & swiftly turned me to the right & said I need you to turn like that for me. A sharp pain stabbed me due to the VA procedure location. I told him you CANNOT turn me like that. The next task he did the same thing again. I told him not to do that again. Then he lied and said I needed 2 separate appts on 2 different days to accomplish the next series of injections. He stated insurance doesn't allow 2 appointments with the same medical person on the same day. I decided to not call him out in his lie. I was getting a procedure covered by insurance & another procedure I was paying out of pocket so the out of pocket procedure has nothing to do with insurance for regenerative services. So there would only be 1 appt that involved insurance but at this point with the unwanted physical touching and the history of his unprofessional behavior & narratives, I was done. There are better & cheaper regenerative places I now know about like ROSM.

In the meantime, I receive various confirmations about my appointment. I had no idea that they never received the confirmation from Worker's Comp. but continue to send me confirmations for my appointment. I showed up here for my appointment only to be met at the registration desk with "we do not have a confirmation from your Worker's Comp". I proceeded to say why wasn't I informed that nobody got a confirmation and it's been three weeks? Some blame shifting took place. I was very upset that I drove here 30 minutes away and to wait about two hours to not be seen nor met with any compassion for this situation at hand. The way in which the conversation took place, you would have thought that it was my fault, and I should have confirmed with them, though I am the one who seeking help from a five star orthopedic. This is unfortunate. Maybe you will have a different experience, but I just wasted three hours driving to and from and waiting there just to not be seen. Awful!

While backpacking I began to have ankle pain between my ankle bone and Achilles tendon. I went to…read morean urgent care in Harrisonburg, VA, because I couldn't get an appointment with a podiatrist quickly enough in the Shanandoah Valley, and the NP there said it was plantar fasciitis. I suspected I was misdiagnosed because I had no pain on the sole of my foot. When I was able to return home, I made an appointment with Dr. Smith-Winton because of all the great online reviews. Her office, and all those who work there, deserved every 5-star review, and more. This was probably the best experience at a doctor's office I have ever had. Every person there was kind, friendly, and professional. The appointment was easy to make, once at the office I didn't have to wait more than two minutes, my ankle was x-rayed without my having to ask (something the urgent care place refused to do when I asked, even though they had the capability), and the doctor carefully and patiently listened to me tell my whole story, asked me some questions, and then examined my whole foot thoroughly. She diagnosed me with a ligament sprain, not PF. She revised my physical therapy prescription and gave me instructions on helping my ankle heal. If I ever need any type of foot care, Dr. Smith-Winton will be the only doctor I allow to treat me!

I am not an athlete though I have regularly gone to the gym for many years for general fitness. I have osteoarthritis and since last spring, Dr. P and I have tried a variety of solutions until it finally led to knee replacement four weeks ago. At this stage, my recovery is going well and I expect the same for the duration. Dr. P is a "quick study" in that he listens and gets to the meat of the issue quickly and with confidence of experience. He offers pros and cons of all options and strikes me as very bright. Also, he is available on secure email and whenever I have a quick question, he answers quickly and clearly - being able to reach him has been a real comfort. The professional medical staff- technicians, nurses, other docs - who work with him are just super! Clearly he trains them well and has high expectations. The only slight irritation I have is with some of the reception staff - some are fine while others seem to not like their job very much - but once past check-in, I don't have any real contact there. That shouldn't dissuade anyone from going to this practice.
