He's a great doctor, so we recommend him to anyone.

He is the best doctor I have ever met in the United States. I loved his professionalism. He is an excellent human being and I love how he treats patients. I would recommend him 1000 times. I adore Dr. Matthew.

Dr. Counihan and his PA (blanking on his name) were very informative, caring, and understanding. They thoroughly explained my diagnosis and gave me actionable steps to move forward.

I thought this doctor was phenomenal. He was just so thorough. He was patient. He had great bedside manner. He knew what he was talking about and he explained things really terrifically and we really liked him.

Both appointment I had I was seen on time, staff was courteous. Dr Counihan was very friendly, thorough and explained everything so that I could understand.
