RealSelf Patient Reviews of David Mattos, MD

I am very thankful and blessed by what Dr. Mattos has done to seriously change my life and confidence with a breast reduction surgery. This whole experience was wonderful from beginning to end. The fact that he would always be so kind, being a husband and father, to take the time to respond to all of my texts and messages, I am forever grateful. I also cannot give enough praise to the staff, who was so efficient and helped the process go smoothly. Thank you Manhaz, and to Angelica, who really by name is an angel, had such a great attitude and never let me leave without making sure I understood and was good with everything. Again, Dr. Mattos is an awesome doctor and one who truly cares for his patients from beginning to the very end. One of the best decisions and experiences of my life!! I have and will continue to refer anyone to see Dr. Mattos without question.
