Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Ryan J. Matherne

Sourced directly from Dr. Ryan J. Matherne's social posts and replies.

What are Dr. Matherne's recommendations for comprehensive sun protection and skin cancer prevention?
Dr. Matherne emphasizes that effective sun protection goes beyond just sunscreen. He recommends daily application of broad-spectrum SPF 365 days a year, even on overcast days, as UV exposure still occurs. Additionally, he advises incorporating UPF 50 clothing (which blocks approximately 98% of UV rays), hats, sunglasses, and seeking shade to protect skin from harmful UV exposure and reduce the risk of skin cancer. He also strongly recommends avoiding tanning beds and making routine skin exams part of your skin-health routine. Early detection of skin cancer, especially basal cell carcinoma, is crucial, and patients should look for new, changing, bleeding, scabbing, or non-healing spots on their skin.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$1,360

Payments

73

Compared to peers

Moderate

Dr. Ryan J. Matherne received $1,360 across 73 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 71% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was Janssen Biotech, Inc..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
