Conferences

Commitment to Scientific Excellence

“Participating in scientific conferences is vital for sharing my clinical findings with the Interventional Pain Medicine and Neuromodulation community community and learning from our collective professional experience. This continuous dialogue allows me to translate the latest research findings into personalized, effective treatment plans for my neuromodulation patients.”


Dr. Matis’ presence at international conferences is frequent and impactful, reflecting a steadfast commitment to both academic excellence and superior patient outcomes.
