Biography
As a physician assistant, I specialize in all aspects of patient care including the evaluation and treatment of orthopedic conditions. Our team manages and treats most orthopaedic issues related to trauma and injury as well as chronic diseases such as osteoarthritis. Some of the most common conditions I encounter are sports injuries and osteoarthritis of the hip and knee. I believe a major part of the treatment process is patient education, so I spend time discussing my patients’ conditions and encouraging questions. My goal is to empower patients with a greater knowledge of their overall health. I’m very passionate about the opportunity to positively impact my patients’ lives.
I am proud to work at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center where our mission is to improve people's lives in central Ohio and across the world through innovation in research, education and patient care.
I enjoy spending my free time with my wonderful family. They are the most precious and valuable of life's blessings. Together we enjoy traveling, participating in community activities and hanging out with our neighbors and friends.

Professionalism
This appointment was a proactive appointment. I had spoken to Matthew previously about the steps to get a prosthetic foot. He indicated that a medical professional would have to recommend to American Orthopedics, and American Orthopedics would then approach Aetna for pre-approval to obtain the prosthetic foot. Matthew advised me on who I needed to approach, and for what reason. He knew about the process, and told me what part I needed to play.
He was very attentive, took his time listening to me, and explained thoroughly what was wrong and what we can do to help me.
Matthew was outstanding in every way from listening to explaining X-rays and condition of knee to future caution I should use after stopping use of knee brace. Also very patient in listening to my questions and reactions to wearing very difficult medical device the brace.
Nothing bad happened.
Provided the injection I requested plus suggested a MRI and orthopedic follow up in the fall.
Perfect Health CARED FOR MY WELL BEING

Provider went above and beyond in explaining what had to be done in my surgical procedure. He showed and explained every detail of the X-rays and what would be happening going forward.
No bad experience

No complaints for my care provider either. They were very careful with my knee
Good dude
He listened and helped me understand what was going on
He was very helpful and understanding he explained everything they done to me on my surgery when they had to do a total hip replacement from a car wreck that I was in
We reviewed back to begining the xrays and the progress of the healing, of the femur , knee joints, the fact that there is still a click in the knee. Sometimes have to straighten it out first before trying to stand, it give me this kind of warning pain if I try to fast.
Matt was wonderful and professional. He spent as much time as I needed to understand my trauma surgery post op care
