Dr. Matthew Barrett Dobbs

We have traveled from NY to FL just to have our son seen by Dr. Dobbs. He made us feel confident in the treatment for our son. Highly recommend

My son has been seeing Dr. Dobbs for over 10 years for clubfoot treatment. He is so knowledgeable about clubfoot and is very responsive to questions and advice. His staff is also very responsive and helpful when we have questions. He does telehealth appointments, too, which is so helpful because we live so far away. We are willing to travel across the country to see Dr. Dobbs, that's how much we trust him.

We have been with Dr. Dobbs since 2017 and from day one he has been responsive and quick to address our concerns. Our son has had continuous procedures and bracing a to correct his feet, ultimately leading to surgery. We were at ease through the whole process because of his staff and Dr. Dobbs personally.

Everything went as well as we could ask with our son's surgery. Things at times took longer, but we were always informed as to how things were going and how he was doing. Will not trust anyone but Dr. Dobbs to take care of our kids' feet/legs.

My daughter has been with Dr. Dobbs since she was 2 months old. He has been working with her on her diagnosis of Distal Arthrogryposis. Her toes were misshapen due to improper treatment before we found Dr. Dobbs. Today we had our first surgery with Dobbs and his team to correct her toes. They were thorough, kind, and efficient. The surgical and anesthesia nurses were the best! They took the time to play and make my 5 year old daughter feel at home as they transported her to the OR. I 100% recommend Dr. Dobbs and his team. I’m so grateful to have found them for my daughter’s treatment!

Quick to respond and extremely helpful. Eased our worries. Smooth process. Everyone extremely nice and helpful.

We have been a patient if Dr. Dobbs for a year and a half. We attempted to treat my daughter's feet local to us, only to have them done incompletely. Dobbs makes himself available 24/7, has realistic expectations, is never pushy, explains everything extremely well. You cannot ask for a better doctor for your child. We feel so blessed to have found him, and always feel valued in return. Thank you!

Dr. Dobbs and his entire team is AMAZING! We come from STL because of the care before and after each appointment as well as the great care we have gotten for each procedure and operation my child has had.

Excellent care and service.

Our experience has always been excellent with Dr Dobbs. He takes to listen and explain and on top of that is always available and easy to reach

My family couldn’t recommend Dr. Dobbs and his staff more! An excellent doctor, and kind and patient to go with it!

Dr. Dobbs is simply the BEST. We had gone to several orthopedists (all across the state and at Shriners) before finding him. My daughter had several foot surgeries that didn't work and doctors who didn't seem to know what they were doing. Dr. Dobbs was able to correct her feet and keep them this way. He is kind, caring, and compassionate. I cannot recommend him enough. We traveled from Florida to St. Louis for several years as he was worth the expenses incurred. We love that he is now at the Paley institute. Our experiences here have been fantastic as well.

My daughter started seeing Dobbs at age 9 when her current doctor retired. I was excited to be with "the best". From the beginning, our appointments were super rushed and concerns were very quick to be hushed. I brought up several times how I felt my daughter's knees were knocked. Every time at a checkup, which was few and far between, the concern was pushed aside. Fast forward, my daughter is now 14, she has stopped growing and her new doctor tells me the window of an easy fix is now gone. Her new doctor put his hands on her foot and actually listened to us and our concerns, more than ANY doctor she has seen since 9 years of age. She was given options to ease her pain due to poor strength in her clubfoot and knocked knees. I will never again put trust in someone who can see a clubfoot child's checkup in 10-15 minutes. Anyone who is wondering, we have moved to Shriner's. They are simply amazing.

I can’t express enough how wonderful Dr. Dobbs is !!!! The five stars don’t do him any justice! He is truly the best orthopedic surgeon in the world . We flew from CA to see him to fix the mistakes of my son’s original doctor. We saw other doctors for second opinions, but they all seemed to be guessing and one Dr. told me that his foot might never get corrected. Dr. Dobbs was the only doctor that figured out what the problem was with my son’s foot.

We absolutely love Dr. Dobbs. I can't explain the relief I felt when we switched my son's care to him. He is simply the best, hands down. We cannot recommend him enough.

Dr.Dobbs is exceptional! We would follow him around the world if we had to. He is kind, genial and very caring. I wish more doctors were lie him.

Dr. Dobbs and his staff are kind and knowledgeable. Our first doctor messed up my sons foot and made it complex, Dr. Dobbs gave us a second opinion and is working on fixing the other doctor’s mistake. The office is nice, appointments are fast but long enough to ask questions. The staff and doctor are available online at any time for questions and respond fast.

It was very good , Dr. Dobbs is a wonderful doctor been with him for years since our son was 18 months old , an now is 13 , he has helped our son so much an i reccommend him to anyone i know, it was worth following him from st. louis to florida , it was worth the trip , thank you Dr. Dobbs for all you have done an will be doing in the future .

Timely, great staff.

Dr. Dobbs is worth the effort to travel for expert care. His skill is unmatched, he explains everything in detail, and his track record of successful treatment and correction is proof. He is active on social media and quickly responds to concerns or questions. The Paley clinic has easy and accessible parking directly in front of his clinic entrance - no parking garage etc. There are signs directing you straight to his clinic so no guessing if you are in the right place! In short, the money and time I have spent traveling to see Dr. Dobbs first in STL and now in WPB is nothing for the peace of mind I have knowing my sons feet and future are in great hands. Highly recommended.

great experience from beginning to end. staff is professional and courteous, and Dr. Dobbs is a excellent clinician. Most of all, we have had a great surgical outcome. Had to travel, but worth it to be in such good hands.

Dr. Dobbs is amazing, so thankful for him treating my son’s clubfoot and looking after him.

Absolutely incredible. In every sense of the word. A top professional for club foot. And his entire staff is amazing. I’ve never experienced such wonderful care, from any doctor, and any practice. And my son is thriving.

If you are having any doubts about finding the right doctor... look NO further! Dr. Dobbs is SO amazing! I wasn’t able to get our son in with him due to insurance issues while he was an infant... but 3 years later and after 2 prior doctors and 3 bunk surgeries.... I was able to have him seen! We thank God daily because our son has had a very long road and struggles with his club foot. Dr. Dobbs and his nursing staff are wonderful!

Excellent doctor. My sons club feet got well treated.Patiently answers to all questions and u feel u r in safe hands
