Dr. Mrinalini Emma Matcha, MD

I highly recommend Dr. Matcha! My kidney health has greatly improved since becoming her patient!

Doctor is thorough and caring. Answers questions to my satisfaction and does not rush appointments. Staff are efficient and pleasant. Easy to reach staff by phone or patient portal and they respond quickly.

Dr. Matcha is a wonderful doctor and human being. She is diligent and dedicated to achieving the best health for her patients. She provides patients with a clear understanding of their situation as well as a plan of action. Also, she carefully monitors your progress. You would be hard pressed to find another doctor as professional and caring as Dr. Matcha. I highly recommend her.

She is very compassionate and spends time with the patient discussing the patient's condition and treatments.

I am a retired physician who has found it is difficult to find specialists who truly care for their patients. Dr. Matcha and her staff care for each patient as if they were family. She is extremely knowledgeable but makes each patient feel at home and comfortable to ask questions. Kidney disease can be a scary problem. It is wonderful to find a specialist who understands your concerns!

I love Dr. Matcha and her office staff...they got me in the same day. I had been to the ER with crazy high blood pressure. She was genuinely concerned and ordered tests that I needed. I feel I am in very capable hands under her care.

I have been a patient for 5 years, having kidney issues due to diabetes. Dr. Matcha has always been encouraging when discussing necessary life style changes, and compassionate when needed. The staff are friendly and efficient.

I am a retired physician and feel I can evaluate other physicians well. She is compassionate, articulate, and thorough. Excellent English skills. I strongly recommend this physician.

A very good and concerned Dr. She is truly a blessing to our family.

I saw Dr. Matcha for a high potassium result that turned out, as she predicted, to be an artifact of the blood draw. She put my mind to ease by explaining everything and all the while being very thorough to address my concerns.

I have been a patient of Dr. Matcha's for 5 years. She has brought my hypertension under control, stabilized my condition, and been a caring, compassionate physician. She has listened to my concerns, answered all of my questions, and supported me throughout. I was frightened to find out my diagnosis. She alleviated my fears and helped me accept my condition. She is kind compassionate and understanding. An excellent doctor! I thank God for Dr. Matcha.

Saw Dr. M. the other day and found that working together we have brought my BP under control and all my blood work was very good. As I sat in her waiting room for her 4th street office, I was thinking how much nicer they were. They were more spacious, bright, and comfortable. Yes, driving to the downtown office is a little less convenient, but the different in atmosphere is well worth.

I HAVE BEEN UNDER DR. MATCHA''S CARE FOR ABOUT A YEAR. DURING EACH VISIT, I FOUND HER TO BE NOT ONLY INFORMATIVE, PROFESSIONAL, AND KNOWLEDGEABLE, BUT ALSO CARING. SHE TAKES HER TIME ASKING MANY QUESTIONS REGARDING MY HEALTH AND IS THOROUGH WITH HER EXAMINATIONS. I CONSIDER MYSELF FORTUNATE TO HAVE HER AS MY NEPHROLOGIST.

I believe Dr. is an excellent doctor. I see her semiannually for a blood pressure situation. May problem is under control, office visits are pleasant.

Dr. Matcha carefully monitered and prescribed treatment for my husband during a hospital stay after a complicated surgery. With her skills and experience he made a complete recovery .2

I have been seeing Dr. Matcha for 48 months, and she has helped me understand my condition and has guided me to improved my health with exercise and medication which was vital for the recovery of my condition. And I can say that there is hope in finding recovery with the attention that Dr. Matcha has given me to believe in myself, mentally and spiritually. Helping me believe in myself to overcome my illness made me look at my situation in a positive way.

Dr. Mrinalini was very thorough and very personable and attentive. I appreciate and really like the print outs that I received from the visit about what was discussed, meds, etc, she is the only Dr that has done this. I would recommend her to everyone

DR. MATCHA, OF THE RENAL HYPERTENSION CENTER, IS ONE OF THE MANY DOCTORS WHO TREATED ME FOR A STAY IN ST ANTHONY'S HOSPITAL. FROM MY EXPERIENCE, DR. MATCHA IS OUTSTANDING IN HER PROFESSIONALISM. SHE ALWAYS EXPLAINS THINGS AND TAKES THE TIME TO BE SURE I UNDERSTAND. SHE IS COMPASSIONATE IN HER TREATMENT NAS AS FOR AN INPATIENT ADVOCATE, SHE IS TRULY WONDERFUL. HER OFFICE STAFF IS KIND, PROFESSIONAL, AND NEVER SEEMS TO BE IN A RUSH TO "GET ME OUT THE DOOR". THE LADY AT THE CHECKOUT ALWAYS ASKS ME, " IS ANYTHING FURTHER THAT YOU NEED HELP WITH?" OR SOME QUESTION TO THAT EFFECT. SO, IF YOU ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH YOUR KIDNEYS, GO SEE DR. MATCHA!

Truly a wonderful doctor!! Very very knowledgeable. I went to her scared over my condition and she was able to ease my fears. She also was able to get everything under control. Excellent bedside manners. Wonderful with my children also.

My Mother has been cared for by Dr Matcha for quite some time in the hospital as well as in her office for difficult to control hypertension. I am a Nurse Practitioner, so I can be picky! She has been knowledgeable, courteous and has been appropriate in not over-treating my elderly Mom while still giving appropriate care. Good bedside manner. Two St Pete offices - 66th st or 4th street.
