Over 15 years ago I was suffering from chronic Achilles tendonitis. After nearly two years of unsuccessful conservative treatment, my doctor recommended Dr.Matzkin to me. At the time I was in my 50s, sedentery due to pain and overweight. Dr. Matzkin did my surgery , and although it was a long recovery , I am pain free and very active in my late 60s. I was also able to shed the excess weight too.
