From my very first consultation, through pre-op, surgery, and now post-op, my experience with Dr. Mata and his entire staff has been amazing. Everyone is always so welcoming, helpful, and kind. You’re always greeted with a smile, and they truly make you feel comfortable every step of the way. Dr. Mata is extremely professional, caring, and honest. He does not treat his patients like just another number. From my personal experience, he genuinely cares about each patient and takes the time to listen to your concerns, understand exactly what you want, and answer all of your questions without ever making you feel rushed.
One thing I appreciate the most is his honesty. He does not give false expectations or simply tell you what you want to hear. He explains what is realistic, what will work best, and what may not, which made me trust him even more. This was a major surgery that I had wanted for YEARS, and choosing Dr. Mata was one of the best decisions I could have made. I am beyond thankful that I trusted him with something this important to me. His skill, attention to detail, bedside manner, and the way he truly cares about his patients are unmatched.
Dr. Mata is one of a kind! He made me feel new again. After have five hip surgeries; I wanted to do something for me. I researched doctors on the Internet and decided on Dr. Mata. I decided on a facelift. The natural results were none other than beautiful! It only took a couple of weeks and I started seeing the new me. Dr. Mata not only does great work; he is so kind, a great listener and very patient. In fact; I have booked two more procedures, the Scottsdale Skinny and breast augmentation. I cannot wait to! Thank you Dr. Mata and staff for helping me get out of a serious rut and giving me my confidence, strength and smile back!
Let’s be honest, plastic surgery isn’t for everyone. It’s scary for most, particularly as we age. Choosing the RIGHT surgeon can be daunting & totally overwhelming. Let me reassure you that if you decide to move forward you can stop your research here… this surgeon & his phenomenal team will ensure that EVERY single box is checked before & after surgery. I have NEVER met any surgeon that made me feel so comfortable. All the kind words that are spoke of Dr.Mata are 1000% accurate. Be at peace & rest assured your in the hands of a truely skilled surgeon ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
