Dr. Mathern came into the room and introduced himself. I was impressed he had reviewed my chart before our meeting instead of reading it during our time. We discussed my treatment and the plan for my future. My goal is to have my pain level (at rest) kept between 2-4. Dr. Mathern has a sense of humor like myself. He was very friendly and explained everything clearly so we could understand. I respect him as my physician. I asked him to increase my medication dose from 7.5 to 10. and he recommended that I stay with my current plan. Again, I was impressed. I look forward to having Dr. Mathern treat me for pain.
