"Dr. Mathew is an excellent pediatrician! She is reachable via email, call, and in person visits. All of the children in my family see her and love her! We appreciate her compassion and expertise."
- Optum Patient Review"Mely Mathew was not unpleasant but also not exceptional in any form... The short amount of time she was with us in the exam room it felt rushed."
- Optum Patient Review"It's a shame they switched to OPTUM, now it's almost impossible to get in touch with the doctor's office, every call takes you at least 30 minutes waiting for someone to answer..."
