Dr Matcha is a great partner in my health journey. She listens carefully and suggests little tweaks to my diet and lifestyle that have helped my numbers improve in many categories. The office is always busy but staff is always on the ball and helpful.

Doctor is thorough and caring. Answers questions to my satisfaction and does not rush appointments. Staff are efficient and pleasant. Easy to reach staff by phone or patient portal and they respond quickly.

She provides patients with a clear understanding of their situation as well as a plan of action. Also, she carefully monitors your progress.

I am a retired physician who has found it is difficult to find specialists who truly care for their patients. Dr. Matcha and her staff care for each patient as if they were family. She is extremely knowledgeable but makes each patient feel at home and comfortable to ask questions. Kidney disease can be a scary problem. It is wonderful to find a specialist who understands your concerns!

I love Dr. Matcha and her office staff...they got me in the same day. I had been to the ER with crazy high blood pressure. She was genuinely concerned and ordered tests that I needed. I feel I am in very capable hands under her care.

I have been a patient for 5 years, having kidney issues due to diabetes. Dr. Matcha has always been encouraging when discussing necessary life style changes, and compassionate when needed. The staff are friendly and efficient.
