Dr Mathew was selected for me by Baptist Memorial Hospital Emergency Room. I could not have selected a more perfect physician if I had time to look for and research one. He explained everything to my satisfaction and made sure I understood what the surgical procedure entailed and what I should expect. Most importantly he listened to me, answered my questions, and assisted me in making informed medical decisions.
