Unprofessional office. Staff immediately told me when I arrive it was MANDATORY that a credit card be on file, I disagreed and said I would not agree to any charges on my card. They charge what they want to credit cards and do not contact patients yet they put a date on a bill than mail the bill out 7 days later, gives them plenty of time to run up your credit care and they refuse to credit your card - that isn't their policy to return money when they weren't authorized. The nurse PA, rude and unprofessional, she doesn't listen or read notes so don't waste your time at this office go to a professional office that knows how to run a business like a business.

I have been a patient of Dr. Matter for almost 20 years. He is kind and cares about his patients. He is very knowledgeable and actually LISTENS to your concerns. I would highly recommend him. His staff are efficient and professional; they get the job done and I've never experienced anything but politeness from them.

Went to this doctor because of prior experience with him from a couple endoscopes. He now has too many patients and his front office staff can't keep things straight at all! On the day of my appointment I was told I didn't have an appointment that day when my appointment card clearly said 2:15 P.M. On that day! I instantly got irritated due to the fact I drove quite a good way to follow up on my CT Scan he ordered! I was reassured I could still see the doctor, so I sat down. Needless to say I waited for two hours to see this doctor and still others were being called before myself. I got up and walked out! I will never go see this doctor again! Things are not handled in a professional way at all!! The nurse apologizes for rude actions and inconveniences. I think they need to rethink their staff and start cleaning them out!

In Dec. 1998, Dr.Matter diagnosed my colon cancer after my primary doctor missed the signs for over two years. My primary doctor insisted it was menopause. I find him to be very knowledgeable and caring. I've trusted him for 13 yrs. with my care and I continue to be cancer free.
