My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

I have been a primary care doctor in the Manhattan area for more than 40 years. I have more time to listen and help discuss what matters to you. I believe that the job of a doctor is twofold: TO CARE and TO SERVE. I care about patients holistically, including their physical, mental and social well-being. I serve by providing wellness strategies, reviewing acute and chronic medical conditions.

Because my practice is smaller in size, our appointments can take as long as needed. If you are sick or concerned, it allows for same- or next-day appointments and phone calls answered by my staff and messages promptly directed to me as needed. My patients can even call me after hours or when traveling.

I offer the annual MDVIP Wellness Program. It includes a series of advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests that have been shown to help identify certain risk markers. The lab findings and test results can help provide a deeper picture of your health, and with this information, we can work together to customize an action plan. I am here to help you as you work toward improved health and quality of life.

I can care for dependents aged 18-26 and offer 30-minute routine or sick visits.

I am forever grateful to a friend, a well known surgeon, who referred me to Dr. Raymond Matta some 44 years ago.

If I have not had any major health issues (I don’t consider kidney stones and hernias… See more

Estelle and I have been not only privleged but blessed to have Ray Matta as our doctor for 40+ years. He is a most caring and concerned doctor. While he was in London on vacation or medical convention, he called his office to advise Leo to discontinue a medication in favor of a more beneficial medication. Dr. Mattas dedication to his patients cannot be matched.

While Estelle was being… See more
