Laurie B. Matt-Amaral, MD 224 West Exchange Street, Akron, OH 44302

"Dr Matt is very kind and compassionate. She didn't rush the visit and follow up with questions was immediate. She has a great staff also"

"I have dealt with this doctor for many years. She has made it impossible for me to trust any other doctor. The other doctors I've went to actually give me an attitude because I refuse to see this doctor because they say she's one of the best. I am sorry to say this but I can see right through this doctor and she is fake like a Barbie doll. She acts like she cares but she does not. I am mildly anemic to the point where I cannot breathe when I go places and she wants me to keep on doing the same medication that has proven not to work for me. She makes me think that she's all about the kickbacks from the pharmaceutical companies because even though I've clotted and the MTHFR Gene is being ignored and I trusted her to tell me the truth about it. The doctor refuses to listen and I had one doctor from the main campus read the note from the nurse practitioner that's in her office and it clearly stated that I needed iron transfusion at least eight of them and I didn't know about this until I seen a doctor who told me this. That just shows that she doesn't care what was told or documented if she does not have the control that she feels she needs over a patient then she will question if the patient has the intellectual capability to understanding what medical choices they make. I am disabled and she treats me like an invalid and no doctor should be treating a patient that way. The nurse practitioner that she has is extremely nice and she does care but the doctor is the kind of doctor that you would not trust with your dog. When I was admitted to the hospital the doctor wanted to let me go when my hemoglobin was 7.2 and refused to leave. She would not listen when I told her how bad my anemia was because of my menstrual cycle. When I left the hospital I sent her an email about me feeling so poorly. She told me that it was inappropriate for me to talk to her about anything through email. Even though I would call her and leave a message for her I made sure have documentation that she refused to listen or to help me with my anemia. It is not hard to prove that she refused to listen but luckily now I have a doctor that's at the main campus who not only listens to me but is giving me the iron infusions I asked for because he knows that being anemic is not healthy for my organs. Being anemic can cause you to have heart problems and cause stress on your body which is not good. She is prejudice against people of color and I would not recommend her. Because if a doctor knows that being anemic can cause a problem and she does not care about it she's not a good doctor. Be careful when you see her because she will not listen and she will treat you like an invalid"

"Dr. Matt is my fathers physician and she is really on top of things. She speaks to him in an up lifting tone and keeps him feeling positive.For being a nurse in the profession I highly recommend her."

"Dr Matt leaves "no stone unturned", she checks anything that has a bearing on my condition. In addition she is very friendly and her approach is a"bedside manner""
