Patient Testimonials for Matthew

Dr. Matthew was great and went in depth on my history and asked questions so he could come up with the best plan for me and my needs. He explained everything clearly and was very patient with me while I asked questions. Felt very comfortable talking to him and did feel like I was being judged.
