Matthew Lorei's Online Review Report Card

Dr Lorei is one of the best. He listens, explains the process well to you, is kind, and professional. I had 2 hip replacement surgeries with him. Recovery time went very well. I highly recommend.

I just met him for my appointment. Most caring Doctor that I came across . He listen to me and looked at my X-rays . Of course I need surgery , His staff is awesome also

I am a patient and fan of Dr. Lorei. He's been my orthopedist for six years, correctly diagnosing and treating back, shoulder and knee problems. He's one of the few surgeons I've worked with whose goal is to avoid surgery if possible. So far, so good, as my right knee has been breaking down for years (torn ACL and meniscus from too much running and basketball over the years) but not hurting thanks to his treatment and suggestions. Kind, responsive and smart, I can't say enough nice things about him.

Horrible doctor he blames others for his mistakes ...he messed my mom hip surgery up because he wanted to go to his vacation the next day!!! Now she have sciatic leg and foot damage . This is not over an further action will be taken especially since he ignored my calls when she was screaming in pain waiting for emergency surgery!!! The worst doctor ever

Denied anything being wrong with the hip replacement after it popping out multiple times.

Consummate professional that is passionate in restoring you to fully functioning daily activities

Long time patient. He is very personable, spends time with you, great bedside manner and a skilled surgeon. But he has no conscience. I know this is a bit lenghtly for a review but PLEASE take the time to read it for your own sake and the safety of others. I Had TKA.. 3 months later preforming a meadical procedure that was CONTRAINDICATED for someone as myself with Osteoporosis.. HE FRACTURED MY FEMUR above implant. Following the surgical repair of fracture I was in a brace to keep my toes from touching the floor. I was not to put ANY weight on leg. 4 DAYS LATER he gave physical therapy an order for me to put full weight on leg as much as I could. 3days later he blames physical therapy for error and orders no weight on leg. This would be for months. I started having sharp severe pain in knee joint and unable to walk. He told me I'm going to have to learn to live with it, it's to be expected. 11MONTHS LATER he stated he could not find anything wrong. "Maybe we should get another oppinion". I find the doctor I want a second oppinion with. I take a disk of my films to my first appointment. The surgeon looks at the film and tells me the Rod put in my femur to repair the fracture is now down into the knee joint. The've had to replace the joint 2 more times. and counting. I'm a nurse and am well aware that doctors make errors but they are only human. We all make mistakes. WHEN I FOUND OUT that the procedure that fractured my femur was contraindicated for me...I was numb... when someone pointed out to me that the date he recomended that I get a second oppinion was 2 months past the sture of limitations. To have him held accountable for actions.... I was hurt. I had so much faith in this doctor. Then I was angry and honestly still am. Not because of what I have been through , the active life I knew taken away from me, managing daily pain and isolation. But because HE KNEW ALL THE THINGS HE DID WRONG . HE KNEW HE COULD STILL DO SOMETHING TO LESSON FURTHER DAMAGE. BUT INSTEAD HE LET ME SUFFER, CAUSED MORE DAMAGE THAT CAN NEVER BE FIXED. HE WAS A COWARD, THINKING ONLY OF HIMSELF NOT HIS PATIENT. NOT TAKING ANY RESPONSABILITY...NOT EVEN AN APPOLOGIE THE LIFE I KNEW IS GONE. THE PERSON I WAS IS GONE. BUT THAT'S OKAY WITH HIM. HIS LIFE IS THE SAME AND NO ONE HAS TO KNOW... An individual that harms another and then continues to harm them has a twisted sence of humanity. Wish you all the best with the doctor you choose ...

Dr. Lorei listened, answered my questions and did my knee replacement. Four weeks after surgery, I was walking up and down stairs, driving and going three times a week to physical therapy. At seven weeks, I walked 1.5 miles and am sleeping better and still going to therapy. I appreciate Dr. Lorei's kind way and the responsiveness of his staff.

Excellent and brilliant surgeon! Dr. Lorei corrected my knee replacement. The first knee replacement left me debilitated (my knee was stiff/ could not bend/ multiple falls/walked with a limp & caused extreme back pain) and I was in constant knee pain because the first Abington/ Rothman Institute doctor failed to measure and size the knee implant to match my petite bone structure. Dr. Lorei diagnosed the problem on my first visit by looking at my x-rays and measuring the opposite knee. Dr. Lorei removed the incorrect implant and gave me a correctly sized total knee replacement implant. I am now able to bend my knee and go up and down stairs. I am very grateful to Dr. Lorei for improving the quality of my life. The Temple University staff members are efficient, professional, and compassionate with awesome customer service!

Dr. Lorei is an excellent and brilliant surgeon who was able to correct my failed knee replacement. The first knee replacement failed because it was too large for my petite bone structure. I was not able to bend my knee and was in constant pain. Dr. Lorei looked at my x-rays and measured the opposite knee to determine the correct sizing. Dr. Lorei gave me a correctly sized total knee replacement and I am now able to bend my knee, walk up and down stairs. He improved the quality of my life.
