HONOREE Gastroenterology SPECIALTIES
WHAT SETS YOUR PRACTICE APART? My patients and team members are an extension of my family, and family is extremely important to me. I created a friendly, warm environment at both of my offices (in Lakewood Ranch and at Doctors Hospital) so our patients feel comfortable and welcome. We take time with each one of our patients to ensure that we understand their situation, symptoms and medical history and can create an entirely individualized treatment plan for them. Because digestive health is a complicated specialty with countless varying factors, it’s paramount for patients to work with a gastroenterologist they know and trust. Our team provides the advanced knowledge and compassion to help people get back to what they love in life.
Tonantzin Matheus, MD HOW DOES YOUR PRACTICE IMPROVE THE LIVES OF YOUR PATIENTS? I treat patients at all stages of digestive health, from those who have been suffering for years to patients who are experiencing uncomfortable symptoms that are new to them. Each of them is seeking answers and a path to health. Our team takes the time we need to empathize and deeply understand our patients’ lives and the factors affecting their condition. Education is imperative to helping patients regain their quality of life. I strive to combine professionalism, advanced treatments and compassion to amplify our patient’s chance at a healthy, active life.
