February 8, 2025
“I'm delighted with the opportunity of 're-doing' this survey. After my initial surgery with Dr Matullo (1/21), I reported I didn't recall seeing him in the OR, or after the procedure. During my 2-week follow-up visit (the subject of this survey), Dr Matullo recalled for me we had spoken in BOTH settings; problem is, I was still in the throes of anesthesia, and only when he recounted the conversations was my memory de-fogged!!! Dr Matullo is simply one of the most impressive physicians I have encountered in my 75 years on the planet...he inspires confidence, communicates perfectly and is a very congenial fellow. As a 40-year pharma exec who has spent most of his life surrounded by MDs, my 'n' is pretty large. My privilege to be his patient.”

“I made an appt with Dr. Matullo as he has operated on my hands for carpal tunnel and trigger fingers. I now have a trigger finger that is painful, gets stuck and it is hard to physically release. In addition I have Duputryn's Contracture alongside this finger, into my palm with good sized hard nodules. This physician has always done an excellent job operating in my hands so I went to him directly. No second choice. While hand surgery is painful and has a long recovery, the prescribed post op rehab has allowed me to gain all the function and movement in my hand. This is Dr Matullo's forte and he is excellent.”

“Dr. Matullo always displays a positive attitude and gives me top notch quality care. I trust his opinion explicitly.”
