Thank [...] Dr. Matthew's is with your practice.. He shows such care not only for me, but about me. He is so patient and takes his time explaining and showing me my images. I was recently told that my lung cancer had come back and I feel like I'm in the best hands with Dr. Matthew's.

Doctor Matthews is one of the nicest and most knowledgeable physicians I've ever had. He takes time to understand your concerns and then gives you not only respect, but understanding when talking about your medical issues. He was so helpful in making me understand what was most likely going on and then gave me several examples on how to help with my environment concerns and where my health plan was going. Such a wonderful addition to the Riverside family.
