Mathias A. Masem, MD

Very caring and knowledgeable and pleasant.

I had my first appointment with Dr. Masem today the x-ray technician came right in and took me in for x-rays and about five minutes later the doctor came in and was very caring and spent a lot of time with me. I’ve already scheduled surgery. I’m praying that everything goes just as we had discussed.

Overall, I was extremely pleased with Dr. Masem's work. During an MMA match, I fractured my knuckles when I threw a punch that my opponent blocked with his elbow. I went to Dr. Masem who did a brief surgery for me and fixed it right up. My hand healed very quickly and there is no trace it was ever damaged. I can't thank Dr. Masem enough for making my hand good as new.

Masem operated on me three times, counting a repair of a butcher job he did on my right hand. I was an idiot to allow him to work on me in the first place, no excuses! He operated on my right third finger for Dupuytren's contracture syndrome and damaged the tendon in the little finger in the process, necessitating a second procedure to repair the damage. The operation he performed on my right arm was, as I instructed him, to remove a bone spur, NOTHING MORE! Disregarding my direct orders, this greedy little troll proceeded to operate on my rotator cuff in order to charge my insurance an extra $6000. This totally unnecessary procedure extended my recovery time to the extent that it made me miss that years clay target shooting season. STAY AWAY FROM THIS GREEDY, SAWED-OFF, BUTCHER WHOSE SKILLS ARE A THING OF THE PAST, HE'S OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These procedures were done a number of years ago and I am sure he has gotten even worse as time has passed. I do not refer to him as doctor… because he embodies the antithesis of the word. He is also a partner in The Surgery Center in Oakland, where he does most of his butchery in order to make more profit from your pain. If you are one of his victims that had a positive outcome, COUNT YOURSELF LUCKY!!!

Dr. Masem is easily one of the best doctors I've ever had. No matter what ailment you have, he has the answer to your problem. He will always go to great lengths to find a solution to your problem, no matter how difficult it is. I applaud his professionalism.

Dr. Masem corrected a trigger thumb with out-patient surgery restoring total function and eliminating any pain. He also treated my husband for both carpal tunnel and a trigger finger with complete success.

Dr. Masem was God sent and provided me with excellent health care service for my worker's comp injury. He was very caring and concern and made sure I received my physical therapy after my surgery. Keep up the good job!!!

Dr. Masem's office told me that they accepted my insurance as an "in network provider." That proved to be incorrect and his office was uncooperate in trying to resolve the matter, which has escalated to small claims court.

Dr. Masem is one of the most caring people in the health care profession that I have had the opportunity to work with. Because my condition is chronic, he has been very helpful in my rebuilding my life and career.
