He was very friendly and had a great "bedside" manner. He helped me very much with my problem. I would recommend Dr. Matt to everyone.

This is one of the best ENT doctors in the state of Florida. He’s Articulate, he cares and it shows. He diagnosed my throat cancer and performed the surgery to remove lymph nodes on the left side of my neck. The incision is hardly noticeable which speaks volumes of his expertise! Dr Matt keeps you informed and puts you at ease which I appreciate. I for one appreciate a physician of his caliber...

What a waste of time. My ears hurt. No assistance. He did not look in my nose or down my throat. Two days later, I have a sinus infection. Is he really Ear, Nose and Throat physician? What a waste!

As a 53 year old I have unfortunately spent more time at Doctors office than I would like. BUT I have never seen the amazing quality of service, professionalism and concern for a patient as Dr Mat and his staff. His attention to detail and genuine concern for my health go beyond any that I have experienced before. Highly recommend Dr. Matallana.

He is a great dr. I had seen a walk in dr for pain in the ear. She let it go for 6 weeks until there was fluid behind the ear. She said I needed to see a specialist. Dr Matallana had to put a tube in my ear to drain the fluid. In no time at all the ear was pain free. Every visit was short but Dr Matallana spent all the time I needed for questions with me. Would recommend him for all your ent needs

Doctor “Matt” diagnosed my throat cancer and scheduled me for surgery. He had to remove lymph nodes from the left side of my neck. His surgical skills are phenomenal to say the least. When my incision healed, friends and family were hard pressed to see the scar. Dr Matt’s staff are professional and they treat you with dignity and respect. Their office manager, Melba makes sure you are aware when your next appointment is and follows up with a phone call.

I had been to two other ENT doctors with my throat and and an ear problems. Neither of them seemed to know what my conditions were. I then went to Dr. Matallana who immediately diagnosed what both the conditions were. He listens to what you have to tell him and answers your questions. I would recommend him to everyone.

I have been going to Dr. Matt for a while now after a life threatening procedure. He has been the only one to care and explain to me his professional opinion which made me feel so comfortable that I finally found a Doctor that has compassion and more faith in me than I did! He is a great Doctor and Surgeon, I can't say enough good about him! Thank You for helping me and all the compassion you and your staff have shown me through one of my toughest times in my life!
