WHAT OUR PATIENTS ARE SAYING
After discussing my health issues, Dr. Matos went through some tests he would like to run. With every detail of what I told him, he said "I believe with these tests we run today, we will have answers." I highly recommend Free Market Physicians to anyone & everyone!
Dawn Scholes
The folks here do a fantastic job. Never have I been to a doctor that listens and explains what issues I may be having and how to fix them better than Dr. Matos. I would recommend him to anyone.
George Buhr
Amazing, finding this place through my work was a blessing! The girls up front are so friendly and helpful. Dr. A is so kind, and he really cares and comes from a holistic approach which I appreciate. They text you to check on you even! Just amazing experience. I will be sticking with Dr. A for years to come.
Adrienne Cross
Within 5 minutes the doctor came in and actually let me voice all of my health concerns. He spoke to me calmly and with respect as to what I was going through. I had lost ALL hope in the health care system and Dr. A completely restored it.
Julie Dube
I enjoy that my Dr. follows up with me after he's seen me and that I can text him anytime I need him. They take such great care of us at Free Market Physician. If you're in need of a primary care physician who isn't going to treat you like a number, won't always run 30 minutes late to the appointments you set with them, and checks in on you after they've seen you, I highly recommend them.
