Patient Reviews
Jun 30, 2022
Dr. Matthew Ricks is fantastic! He has a great bedside manner and sense of humor. He performed my bariatric surgery and did a great job. He made me feel comfortable and he really listened to me, especially when it was something that I was concerned about. He gives his complete attention. This is very important to me. I normally have my questions ready on my visits and he’s like, “what else you got for me?” Always ready!

Board Certifications
What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams. While not all specialties have board certifications, if your provider does have one they’ve taken the extra step to master their specialty and to keep up with the latest advancements in their field.
