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.

Excellent care, staff and doc amazing to work with

Do your research first. I went into the office with severe thumb nerve pain issue. I wanted a thumb arthroplasty which is shown to be 95% successful. Dr Matsuura said, “oh, those don’t work.” I told him about my online research. He didn’t care. He then proceeded to inject my thumb with cortisone which was so painful, it threw me into a state of shock. He then proceeded to tell me a golf joke with my body shaking and tears running down my cheeks. Dr Jiuliano did the arthroplasty and all is good.

Dr.Matsuura has been an awesome doctor.I am not the patient but the girlfriend of the patient who fell off a ladder at work.It was noted as a calcaneal francture which consisted of surgery and lots of screws to get it back to what it was.Dr Matsuura was very easy to talk to and he always included me as a patient who had to take care of the real patient.I highly recommend Dr.Matsuura due to his compassion for his patients and his professionalism that he does.Thank you and your staff.
