I have traveled all of the country due to my condition and have seen so call top rated endocrinologists at Cleveland Clinic and Mayo, but after 1 visit with Dr. Mathews, I was far more impressed with his knowledge and empathy than anyone else I've seen.

I was referred to Dr. Mathews for my cortisol problems. He was able to change some medications around and now I've gone from staying in bed all day to being able to garden again. Worth the wait and 3 states I travel through to see him.

Dr. Mathews is a hero for treating patients during this terrible epidemic. He saw me and started me on insulin for my diabetes and already has started to help bring my sugars down. He has saved my life and was there when I needed him!

I agree with other reviewers that you sometimes have a long wait with Dr. Mathews. However, this is because he gives excellent patient care to his patients. He listens, and found out what was really wrong with me. No 5 minute visit, no being told it was in my head....he found the cause and corrected it. I feel 20 years younger!

Today I came to the doctor Mathews to do planed ultrasound.I was waiting almost one hour.Then the nurse invited me,measured the temperature and blood pressure.About ultrasound she said that they forgot about it and did not planed,but will do today.I waited another 20 minutes.Nobody came and explained nothing.On the front desk said that doctor little bit behind.(Behind almost 1,5 hours).Neither doctor Joseph Mathews nor the nurse went to me and I had yo leave and did not receive a medical service and advice.

Dr. Mathews is caring and wants to help. I had seen multiple other specialties, including endocrinologists and after 1 appointment with Dr. Mathews he was able to diagnose me correctly and get me the proper treatment. His team that he has assembled also is top notch. I would recommend him (and his team) to any and everyone.
