      Dr. Matlaga is excellent--she is kind and willing to listen.

    • Jun 24, 2026

      I have been seeing this doctor for years and today I had many concerns that were either brushed off, rushed or just not acknowledged. I didn't get a chance to talk about my concerns and today I had many. She's usually really helpful today she seemed not available. I didn't get a lot of questions answered and my concerns were just given an ok. I was really unsatisfied with my experience today and left feeling my problems were not solved and still with many questions.
