Stephanie B Matza, DO

Stephanie Matza, DO chose a career in medicine because she liked the idea of combining science and the art of helping others. “I was most influenced by my own family physician, who was incredibly patient and understanding,” she says. “I've been fortunate to have had many great mentors who taught me the value of forging strong connections with my patients as well as colleagues.”

As a physician, Dr. Matza’s goal is to provide compassionate, personalized care and make patients feel heard. 

“I take a shared decision-making approach when making treatment plans with patients to make sure we're on the same page. I get the most satisfaction from helping patients identify goals regarding their health, building a plan to work towards those goals, and helping guide them to success - whether that's working towards weight loss, recovering from an injury, or improving their cholesterol.”

In addition to her work as a MemorialCare physician, Dr. Matza serves in the Air Force Reserve as a Flight Surgeon. “I'm proud to serve my country and care for service members. Earlier this year, I participated in a training mission to the Virgin Islands where we provided no-cost medical care to the local community during a 10-day health fair.”

Dr. Matza grew up in Jacksonville, FL and spent her teenage years in Seattle, WA. When she isn’t in the office helping patients, she enjoys spending time with family, cooking, running, playing ice hockey, and listening to live music.
