While siting in my d8ctors office, I was very nervous. When Dr. A. Mathur walked in, that nervousness went away. I am nit sure if it was an angel flying over her to ease my fear but my prayers were answered. Dr. Mathur was very professional, pleasant, caring and friendly. I knew that I was in great hands. Thank you, Dr. A. Mathur for assisting me with my medical care and taking fantastic care of me.

I think Dr. Mathur is phenomenal! She takes the time to review your medical tests and visits. The first time I met her (prior to my thyroid surgery), she went over test and lab results from the time I first had issues with goiters (when I was in my 20's).She is an exceptional surgeon. I recently had a visit with my Endocrinologist six months after my surgery.She surgically removed my left thyroid; and my right thyroid Is making sufficient hormone; which means I don't need to take replacement medication.
