About
About Matthew Kilthau MD
Dr. Kilthau believes in taking the time to get to know his patients, to listen to their life stories, understand their problems and goals, and have an open dialogue about the different available treatment options. He believes the best treatment happens when patients are informed decision makers collaborating together.
​
Dr Kilthau's practice includes the diagnosis and treatment of most common mental health conditions including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, panic disorder, and others. He believes in using the most up to date scientific evidence to guide treatment while also recognizing that our real lives are more nuanced than a randomized control trial.
