Dr Mathai is the best by far but on this visit she went above and beyond to get care for me beyond her scope as my RA doctor. She really showed her care and concern for my overall health by referring and personally reaching out to other doctors to see me. I have the utmost trust in her that she is ALWAYS going to do what''s best for me!

Dr. Mathai is very much my favorite doctor of 8+ doctors that I visit at least once a year. She is very caring and covers just about all aspects of my health dealing with RA. She has gone above and beyond in making sure I am taken care of in dealing with the pain associated with this disease. On my first visit to see her, I indicated that I couldn''t and wouldn''t continue to live this way. And with her wisdom and knowledge I no longer feel that way about my life. In fact I must say that my attitude is very good, I feel very positive and happy...and that''s because of Dr. Mathai. Cleveland Clinic is very fortunate to have her. I''m very fortunate and that''s an understatement.
