Matthew D. Vrees's Online Review Report Card

My father needed surgery when he was 90 and saw Dr. Vrees for a second opinion. My father was so impressed with him and the quick rapport they developed that he chose Dr. Vrees as his surgeon. Dr. Vrees brought him through the operation successfully. “Now go home and enjoy your life,” he told my Dad at his follow-up visit. And my father did that: He had happy and healthy years afterward, and for the rest of his life he prayed regularly for Dr. Vrees and his team. Besides his surgical skills, what sets Dr. Vrees apart is the kindness and respect he shows patients. Dr. Vrees spent a lot of time with my family answering our questions in plain English. There’s an anatomical chart in his office, and my Dad asked Dr. Vrees to explain to him using that chart exactly what his procedure would involve and how it would be done. Dr. Vrees did that. My family is thankful that Dr. Vrees chose to become a doctor, and that our paths crossed when my Dad needed help. Dr. Vrees is the best.

You will not find a better doctor for your colorectal needs. He tics all the boxes of a good provider. I count myself very lucky to have him in my corner. Thank you Doc.

Dr Vrees a humble talented surgeon. He is a member of my " dream team." Removed my cancer ,encouraged me throughout my recovery , inspires me with his confidence and care. This is a surgeon you can trust and know you are cared about and for. I am forever grateful for him .The memory seeing him first thing at my bedside post surgery remains a high point of hope. There are few words to express my forever appreciation.

Terrible!! Was told I needed surgery and then after numerous phone calls to set up surgery not one phone call back. Lastly the secretary tells me I should go to the emergency room. Finally see another doctor and my issue was rectified in one visit. I paid him 300.00 and he did nothing. I suffered for months because of him. Strange how other negative reviews have disappeared

Horrible! Suffered for months and finally got a second opinion and was cured in one visit. Took my money and didn’t return 9 calls!

I Would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Vrees. I can’t say enough good things about him and his Abilities as a surgeon.

Dr. Vrees is one of the easiest doctors to relate to. He listens to you and his responses are well thought out, to the point and well articulated. However, more to the point of this review are his surgical skills “best pair of hands anywhere” according to some ofhis cooleague. But more importantly, best bedside manners pre and post-op in reassuring patient and family. Not unusual to see him huddle with families in acorner , comforting, laughig reassuring with an easy manner. BEST IN NEW ENGLAND

Got really sick from ulcerative colitis, Dr Vrees performed a total colectomy (removed my entire colon) still recovering but much better. I have an illiostomy bag now and still need 2 more surgeries to get connected back. I don't think I would want anybody else performing these surgeries. Thx again Dr Vrees

Great Doctor, attentive and knowledgeable. Great bedside manner. Thank you Doctor!

I had surgery by this Doctor a few years ago for hemmrodes. This Doctor cut me in the wrong place and I endened up with 2 blood infections, along with bring in the hospital for 9 days on 2 Antibiotics. When I first went to emergency room due to this problem, I requested This Doctor to see me to check on me and he never showed up! Fortunately I was in good shape physically and got through this terrible ordeal. I would never recommend this Doctor to anyone! Awful surgeon and awful bedside manners.
