Dr. Matthew Kohler, MD

Staff very professional and friendly easy to get a appointment

Dr. Kohler has guided me through an intense and tortuous journey of chronic pain. He has given me back a normalcy of life. He's been such a blessing and I am forever grateful for his care. I arrived at his office desperate and defeated. With his guidance and care, I am now living life to the fullest again. I am making art again!

Dr Kohler is an excellent doctor I came to the dr in pain he knew Exactly what I needed 8m am so happy too have him as my doctor

Hudson Medical changed my life. Dr. Kuo is my main doc but I have also seen many other anesthesia-pain specialists (Dr. Rances, Dr. Kohler, Dr. LaSalle) and one of their physiatrists (Dr. Bonte). I’ve found each to have wonderful bedside manner, diagnostic competence, and excellence in performing pain management procedures with minimal pain. (The only doctor who lacks these positive characteristics, in my opinion, is Dr. Palvia; since a bad experience — i.e., I woke up during a pain management procedure and he wouldn’t give me more sedation and I was screaming as he finished the last few zaps... This’s a procedure I’ve had performed regularly by all the other docs and this was the *only* time there was an issue — I’ve asked the staff not to assign me to him, and there’s never been a problem.) The support staff of nurses, assistants, techs are wonderful and knowledgeable and gentle and friendly. The administration gets things done immediately — I never have to call back and remind… and beg and plead for them to send a script, submit a prior auth, write a letter, fax records, etc., as is common with other medical practices. It can be very tough to get them on the phone — the phone lines are jammed throughout much of the day — but I’ve learned to simply email the front desk, and I always, always get a quick response. This is a really special practice, and I’ve probably sent about ten people to them, including my mom. My former pain management clinic did injectable nerve blocks and opioids only. The doctors at Hudson offer a wide array of state-of-the-art pain management procedures designed to keep their patients off of pills... And as someone who has been successfully treated with Botox, epidurals, and radiofrequency ablation, I speak from personal experience when I say that their procedures are life-changing. If I’d remained at my old pain management clinic and never found Hudson I would probably be addicted to pills and living on Disability... I’m not being dramatic — that’s just the truth.
