Patient Comments (39)

Overview of patient comments

Summary created using AI

Patients appreciate

Dr. Matthew Paul consistently receives praise for his strong communication skills and bedside manner, with many patients noting that he explains diagnoses, treatment plans, and procedures in clear, understandable terms. Reviewers frequently highlight his knowledge and professionalism, describing him as thorough, patient, and attentive during appointments. Several patients also commented on feeling genuinely cared for, citing his empathy, kindness, and willingness to address concerns without rushing. The supporting staff and office experience were also mentioned positively, with multiple reviewers noting friendly team members, minimal wait times, and efficient scheduling.

Patients also share

A few reviews pointed to areas for improvement. One patient described a breakdown in follow-through, noting that Dr. Paul reportedly forgot to schedule an ordered EMG test, requiring the patient to call and follow up two weeks later. Another review mentioned a somewhat unconventional suggestion (recommending a new mattress for shoulder pain) as part of the diagnostic conversation, though an MRI was still ordered. These isolated comments suggest that while most experiences were smooth, there may be occasional lapses in follow-up communication or care coordination.
