A Diplomate of the American Board of Anesthesiology, Dr. Matos merges the precision of interventional pain medicine with the holistic and restorative philosophy of Eastern healing. She has been pioneering biological therapies since 2010, beginning with autologous regenerative treatments including PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), BMAC (Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate), and SVF (Stromal Vascular Fraction) for joints, spine, and aesthetic applications. In 2017, she became one of the first physicians to advance spine and skull-base interventions using stem cell and exosome therapies, setting new standards for regenerative medicine in both pain management and aesthetic care. Her protocols continue to influence global regenerative practices today.
