Could not be happier with Doctor Kristofer S Matullo, MD and office staff. Looking forward to upcoming procedure.

09/20/2024
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.

09/12/2024
Dr. Matullo always displays a positive attitude and gives me top notch quality care. I trust his opinion explicitly.

I had an issue with my hand since I became pregnant over a year ago and was told by my PCP and OB doctors to wait until I gave birth to address the issue. This appointment took months to get, but I heard Dr matullo was worth waiting for so I waited several months and finally saw him. He was helpful and understood my issue immediately. He gave me my options on how to proceed and if the first doesn't work then we will try the 2nd. He was wonderful.

07/11/2024
Dr Matullo is a wonderful doctor. He is so patient. He listens carefully and he sits and looks at you. He explains in detail.

All good

04/04/2024
My original appointment was scheduled a month prior to 4/1. That appointment was cancelled by the doctor's office due to emergency surgery that the doctor needed to do. The next appointment that was offered to me was 7 weeks later. I asked about a cancellation list to get an earlier appointment. I was told that there was no waiting list and that I would have to call daily to check for any cancellations. I really don't think that is best practice when I did not cancel the original appointment. I called back in a few days and another person was kind enough to get my appointment moved so that I only had to wait 4 weeks to be seen by the doctor. Some allowances need to be made when rescheduling is necessary due to physician cancellation.
