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!

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.
