      I have seen a lot of doctors/specialists and unfortunately had a lot of negative experiences and had providers dismiss my symptoms or just not appear to care about why I'm there. But Dr. Matloubian was great and really listened to me and seemed to genuinely care about why I was there and spent a lot of time explaining the different treatment options. It was a very refreshing appointment.
