I saw Dr. Matthes on Nov. 30th, 2023 for a very painful swollen knee. Swelling was all the way down to foot. I was a big confused on dates (when it started and symptoms). His Nurse came in before hand wrote down BP, Oxygen level, weight (Ugh). His 2nd assistant came in to write down answers to symptoms and dates. She moved leg around to make sure it wasn’t my hip or back. Dr. Matthes entered, had X-ray of earlier visit to an Urgent Pain Clinic. Talked about previous injections. I went with the cortisone injection. I have osteoarthritis. Not ready for replacement. Dr M and his 2 assistants were so good at listening, very attentive, caring and didn’t rush. Am very grateful.

Dr Matthew I want to thank you for treating me like I am a human being deserving of being treated. I have been to Iowa Ortho before and have seen other doctors that treated me like I was no one. Like I didn’t deserve to be seen or to even be talked to about my condition. Yes I may be obese and may be a smoker but that doesn’t mean I don’t have feelings and deserve to get health care. These other doctors told me there was nothing they could do for me until I quit smoking and lost weight. Okay I already knew that. Please help me accomplish that. Tell me how much I need to lose, what I can do to quit smoking. Nothing. That was it. Dr Matthew sat with me explained my condition, what I was looking at as far as fixing it, how to go about reaching that goal what resources were available, how much weight I needed to lose, other options to try while trying to lose the weight to have the surgery. He was very friendly,explained things so I would understand. He didn’t try to hurry me up and push me out the door. He is willing to help me with the other things I need to do in order to get better and to be able to be able to start living my life outside of a wheelchair. He said he wants to be able to help me get my hips replaced. That’s more than what any other ortho doctor has said or was willing to do. I would highly recommend him to everyone.

Dr. Matthes and his team are great!! He is extremely through, listened attentively as I explained my knee and hip problems. Offered least invasive solutions first and provided exercises to strengthen my hip. But, should I need replacements I know I am at the right place. Peighton and all the team were extremely helpful and a delight.

My Pella Iowa Ortho appointment was scheduled for 9:15. I arrived early as requested but fully expected a wait time of at least 15-20 minutes beyond my set appointment time. However, I was pleasantly surprised that I was called back to the examination room 15 minutes earlier than my appointment time. X-rays were taken with care. And, Dr Mark Matthes thorough in his exam and reviewing the results of my x-rays. He took precaution to be gentle in administering the cortisone shots in both my knees. I find him to be very personable and a caring physician. I was quite pleased with my doctor’s appointment. Thank you! -Ronda Thrasher—

Dr. Matthes took the time to sit down and explain what was going on with my hips and why. Gave me several options for how to fix it. Explained each option. Asked several times if I had more questions and made sure I didn’t feel rushed and that I understood everything that we talked about. Best part was not feeling pressured to just have surgery right off the bat. I feel very confident with Dr. Matthes as my hip surgeon because of his vast knowledge of the issues and experience with the surgery. I’m so glad I found him!

Dr. Matthes was very kind and informative. The surgery went well. And a really nice touch I thought was when I woke up there was a modest Carnation floral arrangement in my room and when I asked who it sent it I was told the Dr. Matthes sends one to each of his patients. I would use Dr. Matthes again if the need arose

I have been a patient of Dr. Mark Matthes for 4 years and have always found him to be knowledgeable, pleasant and compassionate. He did my right knee replacement 3 years ago after trying less invasive alternatives. Yesterday I found it necessary to see him for the left knee. I have been very pleased with his excellent professional care and his willingness to try more conservative approaches before surgery. I would recommend Dr. Matthes and the friendly, helpful staff at Iowa Orthopaedic Center in Des Moines.
