Biju Mathews's Online Review Report Card

Came into the room asked three questions did not wait for a response started speaking in an insulting manner and then when I questioned his actions and comments became irate. Just FYI you cannot use a chart to do a BMI to determine a persons state of health and well being , you need many additional things done such as bone density, muscle mass, water immersion etc. to make a snap judgement without even knowing a persons background is ludacris. So used to treating uninformed people, who don't ask questions or want cookie cutter, insurance diagnosis. Terrible office and manner, insulting business acumen, overinflated ego , not the least bit humble

Most condescending and narcissitic person I have ever seen, my first visit and without asking more than 3 questions proceeded to go a condescending tirade about issue before I could even respond. tried to tell me about BMI's by using a chart for age/height/weight which is absolutely false, you need more than that, you need bone and muscle mass reading by either water immersion or other sources. No doctors attitude just shut up and do I say. This man his not humble more concerned with getting people in and out and getting insurance money , terrible office acumen. trying to impress an intern in the room. Gross negligence of a patients side of anything

Don't expect to get an immediate appointment if you have a problem. It will take 3 months to get to him even if you are an established patient.

He has saved my life 3 times.

Dr. Mathews is one of a kind, he goes out of his way to make you feel like family, I wouldnt be here today without this man and he has blessed family members of mine in the same way. You can trust this man with your life and well-being and be sure that he will provide you the best care available. He is one of the best cardiologist in the country, not to mention Florida. Be at peace with him as a choice for your Doctor.

Doctor Matthews is a very caring doctor. He is hands on, doesn't brush you off with pills, as many do. I feel he has been excellent with our family.

I have been seeing Dr Matthews for a couple of years while he monitors a problem that I have. After reading the negative reviews about his disrespectful behavior and failure to explain a condition, I must post my disagreement. I love him, respect him, and am thankful for his directness. He is personable and wants to know about your health in your words. He cares. He listens. He will tell you as much as you need or want to know. He is serious. He is skilled. For me, these qualities are most important. To top it all, his office staff are courteous and efficient.

Was not impressed. He was reluctant to tell me exact test findings, ordered tests that a prior cardiologist had already done (which were normal). I felt defensive and guarded. A friend recommended I check the propublica links on him. He took over $34,000 in payment from drug/device companies in 2016. I prefer a doctor not beholding to industry. Also, he bills far more than most providers, which suggests ordering more tests. He billed Medicare $643,000 in 2015, latest year with records. Only 15% of cardiologists bill that extensively. I switched to Illena Antonetti in Orlando. Well worth the drive. She spent more time with me, answered all my questions, and didn't feel the need to order any tests at this time since I'd had a full work up a few years ago. She also earns little money from drug/device companies and most cardiologists (80%) billed Medicare more than she does, so she's not routinely padding the bills.

Good clinician good bedside manner solid staff

Dr. Mathews has been my cardiologist for 8 years. He’s done several Cath on me with success. One he was uneasy doing so he sent me to a doctor in Orlando. Hell of a doctor that admits when he’s not comfortable with a procedure. He is kind, caring and very knowledgeable. I’ve put my life in his hands many times and I’m here to talk about it. His staff from answering phone calls to doing ekgs are totally knowledgeable and kind. Highly recommend him to anyone.
