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.

I work full time+, comp doesn’t pay bills so off to the grinder I go. So they call me and tell me I have to come in tomorrow for a urinalysis and I tell them that I’m out of town for work, so they refuse to fill my meds until they get the results back from my urinalysis at my next appointment. “Could be a week with no meds” they say, sucks to be me I guess. 2 herniated and 1 slipped disc, oh yeah I should be fine with 2 small kids and 50 hour work week. This is the worst group of so call doctors I’ve ever witnessed. Hippocratic oath my butt.

Brought him all my WC records & waited 2 months for a return call. Went to his office & filled out more paperwork. Nurse told me he'd call next day but didn't. Told me due to my meds, he probably would refuse to treat me. Still haven't heard from him. It's been 3 months. He only pushes shots

Pain management? – Jul 21, 2021
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Matteliano?
Dr. Matteliano was the only Doctor who was able to alleviate severe sciatica through various treatments and a specific plan of action. I had been to 3 others who only wanted to send me for surgery. His direction and treatments got me through a very difficult time and back to work. His respect for my not wanting surgery unless absolutely necessary gained my respect and trust. I wouldn't trust my care to any other. Doctor Matteliano and his staff are second to none!

Was a patient for 7years and suddenly out if the blue he changed his policies and told me, while looking me in the eye, that he didn't care if I was getting adequate pain relief, after reducing my meds by more than half on my last visit, he said due to His new policy he cut my meds and wasn't satisfied with what he left me on that it wasn't low enough yey and wanted to lower it AGAIN!!! He also said that if I'm NOT getting sufficient pain relief that I need to go to another doctor!!!
