It is awesome to have a doctor with a world class medical team fighting to get approval for my surgery. It was a real battle and it was a surgery I badly needed. I was surprised by how quickly I recovered from the cutting edge, minimally invasive techniques. Two weeks after my surgery I drove to my appointment unassisted and was back to most activities.

My pain was close to extreme prior to surgery, and within 48 hours after surgery I was up walking around doing physical therapy with minimal pain. The experience was starting a race with 2 flat tires, and ending up in first place with brand new tires. Nothing but amazing things to say about Dr. Mataragas and his staff.

There was a point where my back pain was so bad that I couldn't enjoy the things I loved to do, and I was starting to have to miss work. This is the best I have felt for years, now I feel like I can do activities that I have done for 15 years. Everyone notices how good I look and I tell them all it is thanks to Dr. Mataragas

Dr. Mataragas changed my life. As a surgeon myself, my painful condition made it impossible for me to continue to take care of patients. After extensive research and checking with my other surgical colleagues on who I should turn to for back surgery, the consensus pointed to Dr. Mataragas. After his outpatient surgical procedure on me, I was able to return to work after one week. I can't say enough good things about his skill set, compassion, and understanding. I highly recommend Dr. Mataragas without reservation.

Dr. Mataragas did my L5-S1 fusion. He spent several appointments with me going over both surgical and non-surgical treatments for my back pain. When the non-surgical treatments didn't work, I opted for surgery. Within 2 weeks of surgery, I had almost no back pain. I was already back to walking within 8 hours of my procedure. My rehab is going really well at this point, and I can't thank Dr. Mataragas and the staff at SOC and West Boca Medical Center enough!!!

My aunt had been dealing with severe back pain for years. As someone who does a manual job, she had been told spine surgery would force her to retire early. Thanks to Dr. Mataragas, he performed a state of the art minimally invasive surgery on her and she was able to recover wonderfully and is back to work at her job and pain free. Thank you and God bless you Dr. Mataragas!!

After dealing with back pain for so long I found a spine surgeon that I was able to build a relationship with and was able to fully trust. I had an lumbar fusion done which relieved my pain and has allowed me to get back to doing the things I enjoy doing. I can walk again without pain, and feel like I have my life back. Thank you Dr. Mataragas

After seeing 3 different physicians, Dr. Mataragas was able to make the correct diagnosis in me when no other doctor could figure out what was wrong. I had been dealing with severe pain in my back for months. The greatest part of it was that the fix for the problem he found was not even surgery! Cant thank him enough.

After seeing multiple spine specialists and being told surgery is the only option for me, Dr. Mataragas was willing to try non-surgical methods and thankfully it resulted in me getting better and not having to have any back surgery. He cares about the patient and not just making money. I owe him everything.
