Dr. Mathern was my source for a second opinion to correct a spinal problem recently diagnosed at my hometown neurologist. I was most impressed with his knowledge, preparation, and presentation about my problem. So much impressed that I asked him to take me on as a patient. In my opinion, you are quite lucky to have him working with you.
