Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Adults with CHD should exercise extreme caution with this physician. His cavalier attitude nearly took my life had I not quickly reached out to the Mayo Clinic. Please seek care at a more qualified ACHD clinic.

We visited Dr. Matherne with our 11 year-old daughter today. He was excellent from the moment he came in the room. Very upbeat, and friendly. He spoke directly to both me and my wife as well as to my daughter. He obviously wanted us all to feel included in the appointment and understand what was going on. He thoroughly explained the situation, gave us options, as well as his opinion. He was both very friendly and the consummate professional. I strongly recommend him.

Dismissive. Arrogant. Top-down. Matherne doesn't care to listen because he has all the answers. We paid out-of-pocket for absolutely nothing- just to feel humiliated and be scoffed at.
