We didn't have to wait long. Nurse was kind and thorough. Dr Mathews was fantastic. I felt confident in her ability to be an asset to my child.

When my child first started seeing April Mathews, he had a lot of PTSD and trauma from past providers. He now absolutely trusts her and feels safe with her, and I could never thank her enough for that. She has always worked really hard to make him feel comfortable and to help him get better, and I couldn't ask for a better doctor.

I did not feel like the physician explained anything about the reason we were there. Left there knowing h nothing more than what I went in knowing.
