After working and being around doctors for 25 years I’m extremely picky about doctors I see. Dr. Matijakovich is what you look for in a doctor. He didn’t have tunnel vision. He listened to everything without interruption about what was going on with me. He truly listened to all my symptoms and complaints. Addressed everyone. He has a great bedside manner.
