Dr. Rano Mathew, MD

17th street location should be ashamed and embarrassed to have such a rude front desk staff. So impolite and not patient oriented. Its always upsetting when we have to call the office.

The worst experience I ever had dealing with a medical professional. Taking no action to remedy an unbearable situation between one of his staff members and a long term patient. Myself, the patient in this situation, was treated with outright disrespect and belittled by a staff member over what should have been a simple phone call. When trying to resolve the issue with Dr Matthew, after I requested a phone call back to discuss the disappointing approach by the staff member to treat myself correctly, I was involved in a uncalled for lecture from Dr Matthew in which he made very apparent insults to myself and my workplace. These comments were extremely unprofessional and derogatory and had no place in our discussion to resolve a “so called” complaint against myself, the patient, who should have been the only individual complaining and expressing the very poor and distasteful treatment that was received. There was even a more disgraceful comment from Dr Matthew. He said to me, ”If you ha

Brilliant doctor. Finds solutions / approaches that work. Aggressively continues to expand his education / knowledge base. Highly recommended.

Most people with a mental condition would probably agree that finding a doctor that really understands your psychological profile is a very difficult task. I've been a patient of Dr. Matthew for over 2 years now and he has helped me tremendously. His understanding of natural and preventative methodologies compliment his scientific knowledge. I've felt comfortable with him since day one. If I have questions he usually responds in a timely manner. Without question the best doctor I've had.

I saw Dr. Mathew a couple of times. I felt only fair about his bedside manner. He could use more care regarding your feelings as he was a little blunt and a bit upsetting in his choice of words. Also, he told me the second visit he couldn't help me but he wouldn't give me any referrals. What kind of medical care and responsibility is that?

Dr. Rano Thomas Mathew was no help! I think he doesn’t care much about his patients. He treated me with arrogance and disrespect. The doctor seems helpful at first but after a few months when I came back with a complaint the meds are not helping me, he just dumped me (refused to treat me anymore) without trying to soften the blow by admitting his inability to solve my problem and referring to a more competent doctor! I strongly recommend seeking help with professionals who have more compassion!

I came in thinking I had been on my antidepressants way too long and that I had probably built up a tolerance to them; my other Dr's would not consider changing my meds, because of current symptoms. I then learned about TBI and in researching noticed some of my symptoms could possibly be related to serious auto accident I had 20 years earlier. I went to Dr. Mathew and after studying me he has been cutting my anti-depressants and offered another medication that works for TBI, 5 months later I

Dr. Matthew cares nothing about his patients. He hires a bunch of LPN's to work under him and has no idea what is going on within his practice. A DNA test was ordered to see which anti-depressants would work best for me and ones definitely to avoid....and what do they do?...put me on the one medication that the DNA tests says not too. I lost my short-term memory for 6 weeks! Mental health is so fragile and when your in crisis Trinity Health will NOT be there for you. Please choose your DR.wisely

Dr. Mathew was my adult son's doctor for many years. His treatment of long term use of Subutex, Ritalin or like substance, and Prozac, was a recipe for disaster. When his family requested a meeting, he did not validate our concerns not did he implement random drug tests, as requested. He began the meeting by saying we had 15 minutes. My son is now in a long term treatment center in San Antonio, TX. We are feeling hope for the first time in a long time. Our son had begun injecting Subutex.

Dr. Mathew is an excellent physician! I have been under his care for nearly a decade, and he has continued to work with me through thick and thin, when most doctors would have thrown in the towel. This is a rare quality in the practice of Psychiatry. He is willing and trained to work in a lot of evidence-based treatment modalities. He is a great doctor and a kind human being. If you're reading this and looking for a doctor, he is highly recommended and I wish you all the best... Good Luck!

Biased diagnosis. Deceitful, dishonest and untrustworthy. Doesn't care about the patient at all. I would not recommend this doctor to anyone.

Please avoid this doctor. Untrustworthy! Doesn't have the patient's best interest in mind.

Dr. Mathew is a wonderful psychiatrist with not only the highest standards of treatment, but he is also totally patient oriented. He gives me the time that I need to talk about the issues that I have had since the last visit. One of the greatest things that this practice offers is a treatment called LENS. Electrodes are placed on the areas of my brain which are the sources of my psychiatric issues. The electrical impulses through my brain really do improve my symptoms.

After knowing Dr.Mathews for a number of years it is with my deepest regret that he is not compassionate at all. Don't expect any help in time of crisis
