Meet Sheryl Handler-Matasar, MD
Of all the medical specialties, orthopedic surgery is arguably the most physically demanding. Pushing bones back into place requires brute force, while long surgery sessions demand stamina – which may explain why orthopedics is one of the few medical specialties still male-dominated.
Today only 4% of board-certified orthopedic surgeons are women. Dr. Sheryl Handler at Akron Children’s is among that select group.

We appreciate Dr. Handler's medical knowledge as well as her personality.
Dr. Matasar was a great physician. She got us in immediately to her new office in the Cleveland location as her one-in boardman was booked up for a few months. So we had a great time even making an appointment. The wait time was very minimal once we got to the office and all the staff there were very nice and gentle with our son who does have autism so can be definitely a little bit scared of office visits. They were able to get his height and his weight with no tears which is a first. And when we were in the visit with Dr. Matasar she answered all of our questions thoroughly, addressed all of our concerns, gave us all the information that we felt we needed and we felt like she was very thorough and a very great physician.
Hi, this is (Family name). I just wanted to say that we love Dr. Handler and appreciate all that she does for us and for our child. Thank you.
I'm beyond grateful that my son gets to eee dr.handler for his bones. She was my doctor as a kid. He has a rare disease so it's hard to find someone who knows about the disease but dr.handler is beyond knowledgeable about it. She takes great care of my boy
Dr. Handler is amazing! She is very thorough, listens and explains everything! Amazing bedside manner as well!
We love dr.Handler!!
We saw Dr. Handler today. She is the best! Very nice and made sure we understood everything before we left. I would definitely recommend her.
Her doctor has VERY good bedside manner! She listened to all our concerns!
Dr. Handler is the best. She does an incredible job connecting with her patients. She makes sure parents know and are comfortable with the plan of care. She is by far one of the best physician/surgeons Akron childrens employs.
Did a beautiful job with my daughter
