Dr Matko dismissed my concerns of continued pain 2 mos after surgery. Dismissed my questions and request for additional treatment until 4 mos after surgery, when I demanded an MRI. That MRI showed that I still had significant issues w my knee that were not resolved w the surgery he did, and showed a cyst that had enlarged since the surgery that he told me was no big deal and thats why he didnt remove it. Now I need a 2nd procedure / surgery to remove that.
