Dr. Matei - Reviews?

I was just curious if anyone had been to Dr. Manuela C Matei at Harvard Vanguard? I just had to pick a new primary care physician (My other one was HORRIBLE), and I haven't been to see Dr. Matei yet.

Fingers crossed that she is kind and competent...

I really like Dr. Matei. If you are looking for someone who is going to give it to you straight then she's your woman. My yearly appointment she spent 45 minutes with me going over history in detail (lots of cancer in my family) so she really wanted to know about my food choices, lifestyle etc. I had been having a very hard time losing weight even though I was running 5 miles a day. We went over my exercise what I eat & she gave me so great advise & also referred me to a nutritionist for follow up. When I asked about going back on the pill she gave me her opinion about they bad effects of birth control, but told me if it was what I wanted she had no problem with it, she just wanted to make sure I knew all the side effects. When I left she gave me tons of print outs on some different health things we had discussed. In all honesty it was possilby my most detailed yearly visit ever.
