He specializes in primary care and in the treatment of chronic, pain, chronic illness, mental health, and more.
Dr. Matty is one of Australia's first authorized prescribers of medicinal cannabis. His interest in medical cannabis stems from the movements and acceptance of its properties in the United States and around the world. He was looking for alternative treatments for several conditions whose management became quite stagnant and frustrating.

The clinical applications are exciting, and as we amass the data needed to turn the tide, Dr. Matty has decided to join the fight against the age-old propaganda and embrace this plant and its healing properties.
