Matthew Boone, MD – Edinger Medical Group

I have been a patient of Dr. Matthew Boone for over 20 years. He is an excellent clinician, extremely intelligent, a very caring person and is a good listener. He has helped me through a myriad of medical conditions. He is a graduate of one of the top medical schools in the nation and seems very knowledgeable regarding the latest updates in medicine. His assistant is very sweet and personable. She has worked with Dr. Boone for many years and is knowledgeable regarding medical procedures, etc. I know I am in good hands with this team!
A few years ago, I had to be hospitalized. I was shocked when Dr. Boone and his partners arrived at the hospital to take care of me! In this day and age, this never happens. Typically you are cared for by a doctor you’ve never heard of before, and will never see again. This is never the case at Edinger. Regardless of the reason for being in the hospital, Dr. Boone or one of his partners will manage my care in the hospital. This provides a type of continuity of care that just doesn’t exist elsewhere anymore. EMG has its own case managers and patient care coordinators which most medical groups don’t have. In those situations where unexpected complicated medical conditions arise, I know I can trust on the physicians and its staff.
Downside: Edinger has been around for over 50 years, has won many awards, and is very, very popular. In fact, I am writing this review with some regret as a part of me does not want to encourage others to seek their care with the group and make them even more popular. I kind of want to keep them as the hidden gem they are. As a result of this popularity, appointment times for routine /​non-​urgent health issues can be fairly long. They do have their own urgent care and same day appointments, so truly important matters are handled on the same day. They are even open for a few hours on Saturday and Sunday mornings for urgent issues. What doctor office does that anymore? If you are the type of person that doesn’t care about the quality of doctor you see, there are plenty of medical groups with empty waiting rooms and that might be a better fit for you.
Also, the entire Orange Coast Memorial Hospital campus has become extremely popular over the past 10 years, and parking can be challenging. Fortunately they do offer valet parking for free, and I understand the hospital will be building a second parking structure within the next year or so. The truth, however, is that the doctors are worth the wait and any parking inconvenience.
In other words, if the quality of the physician is not a priority, and you judge your care by the ease of parking and quickness to obtain an appointment, then this is not the right doctor or group for you. I would rather wait a little longer for an appointment and have to valet park my car or walk a little farther from the structure or parking lot, but know it is with someone I would trust my life with.
There’s a reason for everything in life, and there is a reason why we are all willing to wait longer for an appointment with the Edinger doctors — because they are worth it.

I have been a patient of Dr. Boone’s for almost five years now and I can say with certainty that the care that I receive from him and from Edinger Medical Group is the best available. His bedside manner is excellent and his caring attitude make the experience of visiting the Doctor’s office, (even when you are not feeling well) a pleasant one. The different types of treatment that are available are always explained in detail and my questions are always answered. I am confident that Dr. Boone always has my best interest at heart when he is treating me.
Thank you Dr. Boone and Edinger Medical Group!

Dr Boone, who is a member of Edinger Medical Group,(and his MA Twanna), are the best of the best. He explains medical needs with empathy, warmth, kindness, and care, and he has taken excellent care of me over the years. His bedside manner and his way of making complex physiological systems accessible are second to none. Know that he comes highly recommended from a «forever patient.»
