My provider was totally professional and the rest of the staff were also very professional. Actually this was one of the best office visits I ever had.Matthew did not rush this appointment and he was up to date on my medical history. Tomorrow I go to my Senior Citizen Lunch in Little Compton and I plan to tell everyone about this visit.
I had to call for an emergency appointment to see, I thought Dr. [Name] but she wasn't available so I had nurse practitioner Matthew DaCosta. My husband went in with me and we both were extremely, extremely happy and impressed with this fine young man. If I ever need a nurse practitioner, if Dr. [Name] is not available, I will definitely ask for him. I can't tell you how much he made me comfortable. It's just everything about him, his personality, his knowledge, everything. Super great guy and I will tell all my friends to ask for him if their doctor is not available. Thank you. Bye.
