I have been a patient of Dr. Matunis for about 25 years (maybe more?), and I can honestly say that she is the most incredible physician I have worked with. She has always taken the time to help me through complex medical issues and strange symptoms that pop up with those complex issues. She is incredibly knowledgeable about different health conditions and the newest research in medicine. If she is unsure of how to treat a condition, or if I ask about a treatment that she does not know about, she takes the time to research it and will usually be a wealth of knowledge about it by the next time I see her. She has saved me several ER visits by answering my calls late in the evenings and walking through treatments to try at home and giving clear guidelines on when to go into the emergency room. She even helped me manage a confusing and concerning set of symptoms while I was in Ireland and did not have access to medical care.
Having a complex medical history is difficult to navigate, even as a nurse, and she has been a great "home base" for me, especially since moving to the concierge model of care. She is able to look at what each of my specialists is recommending and ensures that my treatments are appropriate in conjunction with each other. She hears me when I have concerns about treatments and is willing to try other options if I do not feel like a treatment will be a good fit. She is also willing to try non-standard treatments when we have seemingly exhausted all of the standard treatments for each of my diagnoses.
To say I feel heard, trusted, and genuinely cared for is an understatement. When my health was spiraling, she was able to see me at a minimum of once a week (sometimes more) until the issue was controlled and resolved. I can usually get an appointment within a couple of days, and the main reason I haven't been able to get a same day or next day appointment with her is because she sets aside an extra-long appointment time, as she and the wonderful office staff understand the complexity of my health issues, and know that we will talk through things in great detail.
I am forever grateful for Dr. Matunis and her staff for walking the bumpy health road with me, and for the endless support and guidance! read more
