I have been seeing Dr. Matos for about 8 years. I have recommended him to many people since then…read more He is not afraid to jump right in and treat a suspected disorder when other doctors hemmed and hawed! When a friend of mine (who was dying from cancer) and couldn't get his medications on time, Dr. Matos drove over an hour to his house to give him an injection. He will do his best to help you.

I have been seeing Dr. Matos for roughly 4 years now. I am also a Mast cell activation disorder…read morepatient and during this time I have had alot of issues as most mast cell people do, which understandably would have tested any doctor's patience. However, under his care, although I still have issues I am most definitely slowly but surely getting better. My last issue was a medication reaction that other doctors had put me on for another diagnosis; Trigeminal Neuralgia. The med that they put me on is well known, especially by pharmacists, who warned me every time I picked up my script to have the potential to speed up the liver thus lowering plasma levels of many other drugs and throwing those unlucky people into withdrawal. Well, unfortunately, that began happening to me and I am also adrenally insufficient and it was draining my hydrocortisone among other meds to such an extent that is was throwing into regular adrenal crisis. Dr Matos was the ONLY doctor that took an honest look at my journals detailing this reaction and understood its potential implications. He is the only doctor I have ever seen that will listen and is even eager to learn something new from his patients whether they are 5 years old to 95 years old! The wait may be longer but this is due to the fact that Dr. Matos was lead to go somewhat more solo as his revolutionary way of listening and taking as much time with clients was completely devalued in other mainstream institutions. He also is willing to hire people, may times single mothers who are also struggling with MCAS and might need an understanding boss if perhaps some days they may not be able to make it in for health reasons, so some days he has to do it all. Bottom line, this is a caring and empathetic doctor who is also extremely knowledgable not just about MCAS but about allergy/immunology and many other aspects of healthcare. And he is also most definitely an out of the box thinker. I truly believe he has saved during what has been one of the most difficult times of my life.And I am not the only one to say this, I know of another woman who drives from Florida to see him. Id follow Dr Matos anywhere as well, I shiver to think what things may have been like for me the past few years had I not found him. So for that thankyou Dr Matos for everything you are doing for Mast Cell and allergy patients everywhere.
