During his time there, Dr. Mathew worked with the Virginia Tech program, providing him an experience that fostered his passion for sports medicine and hip and knee surgery. After graduation, he completed a residency in Orthopedic Surgery at Northwell Health in New York.  While on staff, he trained under several leaders and pioneers within the Orthopedic profession.  He excelled on staff, earning the title of chief resident and worked on numerous projects resulting in several scholarships and awards. Dr. Mathew subsequently moved to Houston, Texas, and participated in a year of fellowship training in Sports Medicine and Arthroscopic Surgery at Houston Methodist Hospital.

 

As part of this prestigious fellowship, Dr. Mathew served on the medical staff of the 2017 World Series Champions Houston Astros.
