Dr Matchison was very professional and made me feel comfortable. He clearly discussed my medical issues and provided me with action plans .
From beginning to end my visit was a very positive one! Thank you Dr. Matchison and your entire team.
Very satisfactory visit with the doctor after not having seen him for quite some time.
i think he IS THE GREATES DR HOW HE EXPLAINS
Office personnel were fine. Dr. Could have explained his diagnosis more thoroughly. I left with questions.
I came over to Dr. Matchison's practice from another cardiologist, who retired and thus closed his practice. I asked around and through good word of mouth, I arrived at Dr. Matchison's. I didn't know what to expect, (I'd been at my other cardios' for 10+ years), but Dr. Matchison put me at ease and carefully reviewed my case and decided on a course of action, new follow-up tests, like a Stress Cardiolite, plus renewing my heart medications. All this said, Dr. Matchison is great!
Dr. Matchison to our family he is the best! Very caring, compassionate and understanding we are very grateful for his kindness and professionalism.
Very patient and competent with me. Surgery will be scheduled in about a month.
Entire visit from start (check in) (Drs. evaluation) to finish (check out) very smooth. Entire staff extremely professional, kind and friendly!
Best of the best.
Everyone in the office is always polite and efficient. Dr. Matchison takes the time to answer all of my questions and listens to what I have to say. Always a pleasure. Thank you!
A a very nice, patient doctor who carefully answered all of my questions and gave me great medical advice about my heart ❤️ condition!

Dr. Matchison is caring, pleasant and patient. He explains my situation to me and gives me plenty of time to ask questions. I feel comfortable and confident under his care.
Dr. Matchinson is an approachable person who, puts one as ease as you first walk into the examination room. Its apparent that he studied your health history and is ready to hear any concerns you may have. He's knowledgeable in his field and will offer advise on how you cant improve your health. He also makes it clear that he's always available for any future concerns.
Office staff are very helpful and accommodating and made appointments tab worked with my schedule. Dr Matchison is a great doctor , puts me at ease, doesn't rush. Feels he care about me as a person and my interests. Is honest about my health
Met with Dr. Matchison to discuss post-surgery concerns. I was seen within one hour of calling in. Dr. M answered all my questions and assured me that my concerns were typical of issues that follow the procedure that i experienced. I left appreciative and relieved.
5 stars
Fantastic doctor and person. Great listener and cares about his patients l!
Dr. Matchison performed my TAVR procedure and everything went smoothly. He is very professional and personal who answered all my questions. His staff is great and the wait time is pretty quick. Highly recommend him and this office.
This was my first visit with a cardiologist in the South Bay. Reception on both check in & out was friendly and expeditious. Gaby took my vitals and visit purpose with warmth and professionalism. Both Dr. Matchison & his NP Clarissa had fantastic bedside manner, were very knowledgeable, listened with care, answered all questions and were clear in the next steps of my care.
all smooth with good staff
on time, efficient, thorough
Dr. Matchison is the absolute best doctor!!! He’s so knowledgeable and is able to communicate technical medical terms to my understanding. He has an excellent patient/doctor demeanor that facilitates comfortable dialogue. I have also heard similar comments from another patient (through my husband) that he was.feeling great and that he had the best doctor!
I usually always give 5 stars. People there are always very nice.. and I always feel the “personal touch” they’re striving for.. I enjoy seeing (and talking with) Dr. Matchison twice a year and never feel rushed.. he takes the time to hear me out and he answers all my questions clearly. I was met this time with his nurse practitioner (a person I’ve never met before and has no idea of my history..). She answered all my questions with very complicated medical jargon.. and spent most of her time (what felt like) her trying to push me towards two new drugs.. (goodbye, “personal touch”). Dr. Matchison did come in later and after he left, I recalled a question that I had forgotten to ask him. The Nurse practitioner asked me what it was (as to not bother the doctor) and took charge of trying to answer it .. but she did not really answer it. I could tell she seemed bothered by the question she couldn’t answer, so I let it go. I suppose that’s my fault.. I should’ve written down my questions for Dr. Matchison. Very sorry for the 4 stars. Not my favorite visit.
Arrived 10 minutes before scheduled appt and was greeted by very friendly and courteous receptionist and had only a minimal wait time before being called to the back . saw Dr Matchison, who is always concerned for our well-being. Thank you all. We hope to see you again next year!
