MATT BRANDON, FNP
NURSE PRACTITIONER
Matt Brandon, FNP, has always been interested in science. Becoming involved with medicine was his way of doing two things he loved at once: working with science and working with people. He is a graduate of Arkansas High School and graduated from RN school at SAU in 1992. Over the years, he has worked in critical care, rehab, home health, long-term care, and hospice.
He graduated with his Family Practitioner degree from University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in 2013 and performed his clinicals locally through the AHEC of Texarkana.
Being able to listen to my patients develop a plan of care and assist them to a better quality of life is what I love about my profession,” Matt said. He treats patients 6 years old and up and manages conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disease, etc. Other services include DOT physicals, work and school physicals, regenerative and PRP injections. He is a provider in 16 different insurance companies, and he accepts Medicare.
As a medical professional, Matt began 2019 by going to a regenerative medicine convention in Atlanta, Georgia. Since then he has been collecting information and putting together the process of using regenerative medicine for damaged and painful joints. He explains, “This is an option to try before surgery, has a much faster recovery time, and it is a procedure that I do in the office. I believe regenerative medicine is going to have a huge impact on the future of medicine.
What Our Patients Are Saying
Dana S.
Professional, kind and compassionate staff, Dr. Raker is very knowledgeable and does his best to help you become pain-free. Highly recommend.
Amy H.
Dr Raker and his staff are great. He figures out what is wrong and how to adjust your joints for no more pain. I also use the medical side for my D.O.T. physicals. I feel a lot better when I leave, than I did when I got there.
Suzie B.
I have had lower back pain for 30yrs and had started having neck and hip pain for the last year or more. My primary dr referred me to Dr Raker and I could not be more pleased. He did my initial exam and x-rays and went to work. After 3 weeks I feel about 80% better. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a chiropractor.
Rae S.
I am very satisfied with the services that I have received thus far. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is great, and the location is easily accessible. Dr. Raker is very professional and he's very thorough. I'm grateful for the services I've been provided. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is suffering with neck/back pain.
