    DR. MATTHEWS WAS DEFINITELY AMONG THE MOST OUTSTANDING MEDICAL EXPERTS I HAVE EVER HAD THE COMFORT AND PLEASURE OF ENGAGEMENT. APART FROM BEING MEDICALLY ASTUTE AND THOROUGH HIS KINDNES, SENSITIVITY AND OVERALL MEDICAL INTERVENTION WAS SUPERB. GIVEN THAT MY ENTIRE, OVERALL EXPEREINCE WITH THE PRISMA MEDICAL SYSTEM HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT SUPERB, MOVING FROM ONE SUPERB, COMPETANT, SENSTIVE PROVIDER AFTER ANOTHER, DR. MATHEWS WAS EXTRORDINARY IN HIS OWN RIGHT. MANY THANKS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS THANKS AND APPRECIATION TO PRISMA AND ALL OF THE MAGNIFICENT STAFF WITH WHOM I HAVE HAD THE BENEFIT OF EXCELLENT CARE.

    fyi, I wasn't seen by a nurse. The respiratory tech that did my pulmonary function tests was excellent. My doctor listens well, but he seemed a bit rushed in the appointment. They might need to check the bathrooms sometime during the day - the trash container was full.

    The address for the appointments need to have the letter added after the street address. Your buildings are marked with letters, such as A,B,C or numbers. This information needs to be added to the "My Chart" also.

    Talk to the receptionist that does the scheduling at checkout, she has a bad attitude. If I were that displeased to attend people, I would change my profession. (I didn't have a confrontation with her but I could tell she wasn't pleasant.)
