NEEDLES ARE NO FUN DR MATKO EASED PAIN THE BEST HE COULD
Reviewed on Jul 17, 2019
Dr. Matko was very concerned about my problem and was very up front that he wasn't the physician who could fix it, which was refreshing. He apologized that we drove from Toledo to see him and that he couldn't help (which wasn't his fault or schedulings fault, I have a rather unique situation for my age). Dr. was very kind and advised of two other CC doctors that could help and followed up with messages to their offices to help get me in asap.
Reviewed on Jul 15, 2019
The doctor dismissed my questions/concerns about using Tylenol for pain relief. I referred him to my meds chart to indicate I already take an NSAD and didn't want to increase that. "Tylenol won't help"...is not a good answer for someone on high blood pressure meds.

Dr matko is very intelligent, kind, courteous, efficient health care provider. very competent, knowledgeable and effective. I couldn't have a better doctor, for my orthopedic needs, and in general. The Orthopedic Department is very good....effective and accommodating. I cannot say the same for the other places or departments. The clinic staff used to be superior....would go out of their way to be helpful and accommodate.Not so much. The Avon campus is very good all-around.The Lakewood Facility greatly lacks professionalism, and especially courteousness.
