Not sure what to say?

I had no idea Dr Matuk had passed. She was one-of-kind!!! She was my doctor for over 30 years! In 2007 I had a brain aneurism and without her I would not be here today. I remember going to see her was not just a doctor, visit in and out in 5 minutes like it is today...there was no physicians assistant, no nurse practitioner, you saw her, the doctor! She knew your name, your husband´s name, your children´s names...it took hours (I would bring a snack), but it was ALWAYS worth the wait. She...

Dr Matuk was the best Dr I have ever known. She was so genuine and personal. Not one Dr has ever been like Dr Matuk, maybe they had 7 minutes! My family and I will never forget such a grand Dr as Dr Matuk. My grandparents, my parents, and my husband, and daughter were so fortunate to have Dr Matuk for our Doctor. God bless everyone in Dr Matuk's family.

Dr Matuk was the best doctor ever - so much compassion, so knowledgeable and confident. I miss her caring soul every day

Dr. Matuk cared for my mom, Rosemary Goon, back in the 70´s when she went to her for a second opinion. My mom was a nurse at Mercy, she worked the night shift and Dr Matuk convinced her to come see her at her office to examine a lump that she was told was a cyst and "nothing to worry about". In essence Dr Matuk gave us 10 extra years we would not have had if she hadn´t insisted on my mom coming to her office. A biopsy showed a malignant Breast tumor and she had a radical mastectomy within the...

I am so thankful for Dr. Matuk and her husband Mike as they were the best medical team ever! I am fortunate that I received beyond excellent care from them. They always took their time to address my concerns and were truly compassionate. They were also wonderful human beings that made me feel better just speaking with them. Dr. Matuk was so knowledgeable while Mike was always ready with a quick and happy comment. They were truly the best that Bakersfield had to offer and unfortunately,...

Fond wishes to her family from ours. Dr. Matuk was integral to the O´Meara family well-being for many years and really truly cared for people. Ah, the brightness in her eyes when a problem was solved! Thank you, Aileen and Mike from one realm to the other.

Well to this day I wish I knew word for word what it said in the frame. I´m sorry if you have to wait please understand the patient requires extra care and you would receive the same as he is just as special as you are.... I read it a million times in that waiting room and now have something similar written on a sign in my office for my patients! Can anyone here remind me becase if you were waiting( hours) you´d of read it! I was her patient for 30+ years. I last seen her and Mike in 2017...

Doctor Matuk was my doctor and my mother's for many years. We both cared for her very much. She brought us through some serios illnesses which I am grateful. We shared some great stories about her childhood, about yard sales and cats. My sincere condolences to her family. I miss her.

I´m so sorry to just be reading this today, 4/15. My heartfelt condolence to her family and especially to Robin. Dr Matuk was an amazing woman. She was alway interesting and was ready to share any helpful advice or information to anyone who asked. I can see why her patients loved her. She was a wonderful and unique person. May God comfort her family in the days ahead.
