We felt listened to & Dr. Mathews ordered testing to try to get to the root of the problem rather than just putting a label of constipation. She was very thorough. I appreciated her time & expertise!

My son's doctor greatly helped my son thru his health crises that he suddenly expierenced at 16 years old. My son is doing alot better now! At our most recent appointment, Within literally 60 seconds of "checking in" we was called back to see the doctor. The whole process was very smooth with little to no waiting! I highly recommend Dayton children's hospital.

Dr. Mathews spent a lot of time with us, answered all my questions, didn't treat us like a number, actually acted like she cared about my child and myself. And we didn't feel rushed and just pressured to leave as soon as possible like most doctor's appointments. My faith in the medical industry has declined rapidly over the past couple of years. I will say that Dr. Mathews is one of the first doctors I've seen in probably five years that actually restored somewhat of my faith in the medical industry. Thank you.

Dr. Matthews was so helpful and truly listened to us about our baby and all the trouble we’ve had with getting her to eat! She spent a good amount of time with us to help figure out the game plan and a follow up visit.

Dr. Matthews spent almost an hour with us and our daughter discussing different treatments and reasonings for why she is going through what she is going through. She was so patient and understanding, and never made us feel like we were keeping her from anything. I am so grateful for her kindness and know that our daughter is getting the best treatment she can. Thank you so much for helping us through this scary time.

Dr. April Matthews is absolutely amazing. We were working with a different gastroenterologist for two years and switched to her. In one appointment she made everything we were told was "not an option" happen!!

April Mathews is amazing. My daughter, I couldn't have asked for somebody better for her. She's very good at explaining things and making you feel comfortable, especially my daughter who gets freaked out a little bit with doctors. So she does amazing.
