Exceptional medical advice and great bed-side manner. Very responsive and sincere.
Dr. Marthur is very committed to his patients in finding the best care for each individual. He is very thorough and has a wonderful compassionate bedside manner!
Dr Mathur is so professional, listens, and really cares about his patients.
He was fabulous! So understanding, found immediate solutions, and put them into action. He was actually checking my xrays and MRI results, when he was out of town at a medical convention. He is outstanding! His PA, Mr. Kenjali, played an intrical role with assisting me through the critical path. Best team in medicine!
Disappointed with my scheduled consult with Kaisey Williams and Dr.Mathur
An excellent Doctor and a wonderful person
Dr. Mathur performed excellent C5-C7 fusions on me. He is caring, compassionate, and technically proficient. I had the utmost confidence in him throughout the entire process. He explained everything in a way I could thoroughly understand, and really listened to me. I have chosen him again to investigate the source of my lumbar pain. I am completely trusting in his ability!
Dr. Mather is a spectacular doctor. He comes in prepared, having read all the patient's and other doctors' notes, and has a great attitude. He's extremely professional and also extraordinarily intelligent. He thinks outside the box and, in my opinion, stands apart from all doctors and spinal specialists anywhere in or near the Triangle. He also happens to be very familiar with my previous surgeons in Texas whom are considered some of the best back surgeons in the United States. I would put him up against any spine surgeon!! The last thing, he will try to do everything to keep you out of the OR until that is perhaps your only last hope. He is simply THE BEST!!!
He was kind, warm and patient and took his time with us. He won me over! Mark also was excellent! What a Great team. Their nurse also wonderful. This was a really great visit. Thank you ALL Pam
Always wonderful service by Dr Mathur.
