Dr. Matthew O Old, MD

Dr Old has been caring for my husband since 2011 when our family physician and Licking Memorial referred us to the James. For the past 8 years, he has been treating my husband Everett with a calm assurance that has turned my husband into a believer in medical care after decades of not taking care of himself. Dr Old has performed 2 lifesaving surgeries on Everett, one in 2011 and one last summer when he performed a total larynectomy on him. The care and compassion from the entire team at OSU who have been taking care of my husband is unparalleled. I am so happy that we ended up in Matthew Old's caring and capable hands. Nancy Hensley

Good and through exam and explanation of what’s to come

Dr. Old did surgery on my neck. Left me numb and with First Bite Syndrome. I don't think he did a good job.

Very smart, young doctor. I feel he knows his stuff and does a great job dealing with patients considering his busy schedule. Staff is great too.

Accurate diagnosis and quick treatment. My tumor was removed and the plastic surgery left me in good stead. Unless someone looks really hard, my scars are virtually undetectable.

First met Dr Old when diagnosed with cancer. Little did I know then that I would end up in the hospital for 3 months and multiple surgeries. His attention and bedside manner were outstanding and during follow-up appointments he took lots of time with me-which may cause the longer waits in the waiting room.

My first operation for throat carcer,was considered non invasive according to Dr Old.The second operation (which was a planed 2 stage)I never recived a call back for follow up testing,until I called his office and had them schedule me for test which resulted in invacive cancer.I am now taking radition treetment at a local clinic.

Dr. Old was great with my Dad and took the time to make sure he understood everything that was happening.
