    He placed another patient's information on my medical chart and now I cannot get it removed. Also, he was trying to leave the room when I was still trying to address a concern.

    Rita Suharli is not in the clini right now, so I saw Dr Matthew’s for a refill on Hydrocodone and fill out form about narcotics. I asked about the ordering of a scooter for me, he didn’t seem to read about anything in my chart! Also why can’t they let us know what is happening with my doctor!!

    He has always been a great doctor. However, to my knowledge, he will eventually be retiring for health-related reasons.

    He both carefully listens and asks questions that are relevant. He takes the time needed.

    Listened to my recitation of previous 6 weeks development of problem. Did a manual exam. Suggested the minimum correction procedure that was required, but was concerned about other collateral internal problems. Explained that CT scan information was needed and gave me a referral for such. I scheduled the required blood test, got results, scheduled the CT scan, got results after 1 week. Then NOTHING. It will be weeks off with my internal pain and suffering before I could get an appt to continue the process of remediation. So having to switch to another provider who I will have to get up to speed so he can give care sooner. Good for Matthews, poor for the availability of continued care on an immediate issue.

    I saw him only briefly because I needed a doctor to refill a prescription in the absence of my primary provider Rita Suharli. I found him very pleasant and accommodating, and apparently his patients appreciate him judging by the notes on the whiteboard in the exam room. I prefer an MD to a DO, but I am also pleased with Nurse Practitioner Suharli.. An additional note: I find these evaluations too long and tedious to fill out.

    He is very professional, knowledgeable, and makes appropriate suggestions for medical follow up in spite of the bureaucratic hurdles a patient must overcome to get quality treatment and care. He is truly an asset!
