Matthew S. Dowell, DO

I'm passionate about preventative care and I love to individualize care for each patient. It's important to me that my patients feel comfortable. I really try to get to know each patient so they feel as if they're my own family member.

Originally, I wanted to be a teacher and worked as a teacher's aide. My interest in healthcare grew when a student I worked with got seriously ill. This led me to explore a career as a physician assistant (PA). While I always carry a teacher's heart, I find joy in educating families on caring for their kids. Working with children is a delight; their infectious joy makes my days fulfilling. I also enjoy supporting parents through the journey of parenthood. My goal is to provide evidence-based medicine with compassion. I want my patients and their parents to trust me and feel comfortable asking any questions. Listening is my priority because their stories matter, and I'm dedicated to seeing their children thrive. Being fluent in Spanish allows me to connect with Spanish-speaking families, ensuring equal access to care for every patient.

When my patients are sick, I make sure they get in to see me that very same day. My door is always open. I truly care about my patients and pay close attention to every detail to ensure they are getting the best care possible.
