Very good experience, as always. Dr. Mathew always takes time to explain everything. I know that's why he runs late. He's very caring with his patients.

The doctor listened attentively and responded with interest and care. He looked at me while speaking, and discussed options and possibilities. So much information was presented! I was a bit overwhelmed trying to understand and remember everthing. However! It's very good to have options to discuss. I'll learn more : )
