Dr. Matthews is verypersonable and very easy to talk to. When he entered the room it was immediately obvious that he had reviewed my medical history in detail. He listened to all my concerns, explained the xrays clearly, alleviated the concerns I had, and made a plan moving forward. I found him very knowledgeable, down to earth and trustworthy. I look forward to working with him!
