First time I had seen Dr. Matthews. He was extremely pleasant and easy to talk to. He explained every procedure and the results of my tests. He made me feel like I was his only patient. The staff was great too.

the staff and Dr Matthews were very helpful and polite. they all seem to be very concerned about my needs as a patient. Thanks to everyone.
All very friendly and professional.
This was my son's first eye doctor appointment and he was so excited. He said everyone was so nice to him and he wanted to come back. For a 6 year old to say he wants to come back to the doctor I'd say that's a real win!
The receptionist was so great! Somehow our appointment got cancelled but she was able to get us in even though it was caused her more work she was so gracious and understanding. I work at a busy medical office so I know that isn’t easy so I appreciate her professionalism and kindness to get us in.
Everyone is very friendly, helpful & patient. Answers all questions so that you understand. Glasses came in quickly after eye examination.
They took the time to exam eyes really good. The staff was friendly and helped any way they could filling out history. Needless to say I got lost and they talked me there! ????
The staff are always helpful, kind, and informative. My children feel comfortable with the staff and Dr. Matthews. The only issue my family and I have ever encountered is sometimes there isn't enough seating in the front waiting area. But overall AMAZING experience at every appointment.
I trust the doctor. I have to go every 6 months. He is looking out for any changes. Explains everything. Takes his time. Very through. Ladies out front nice and answered my questions.
The overall interest in solving eye issues that I have had for over a year, and the professionalism of the doctor and staff! For once, I feel that I have the best care ever! Thank you!
He was a very caring doctor and seen me two more times for a follow-up just to make sure the eye drops that he prescribed to me were working
Prompt, efficient, knowledgeable and personable. Skills that you exhibit with your patients. That’s why I chose you for my eye needs
Reliable and consistent
Little expensive
I have nothing but the best to say about Dr. Matthews!! He is thorough and careful and so kind and easy to converse with. I am so grateful to him for taking time during a routine eye exam, at the end of a long day, to dilate my eyes to check the condition of my retina. If he hadn't taken the time to do that, he wouldn't have seen the tear that was developing which ended in me getting retinal surgery to fix it. I'm so grateful for his good care of his patients!
Friendly, caring office. Keep it up!
Extremely professional staff who take time to listen and explain. I’m a valued patient, not a number to get through as fast as possible.
Friendly & individual attention to detail.

Great service
I feel Dr. Matthews is very thorough and provides great care for my current and future vision needs. The main downside is that I've never had an appointment start even remotely near my appointment time. This past appointment was set for 9:15 a.m. and I arrived at 9:00 a.m.; however, my appointment with Dr. Matthews did not start until 10:10 a.m. and ended by 11:00 a.m. Having appointments start and end at a reasonable time would be beneficial for patients who have other schedules to keep.
