About Matthew Rose, DO
Matt is a Doctor of Osteopathy (D.O.), specializing in osteopathic medicine. A D.O. has all the same training as an M.D. (Medical Doctor) plus additional training in physical medicine. Before becoming a doctor, Matt was a geotechnical engineer. While working at Livermore National Lab in California, he participated in a Flying Doctors mission to Mexico. The Flying Doctors are a humanitarian organization that flies in teams of medical professionals to areas in the developing world in desperate need of medical care. He was so inspired by his tours with the Flying Doctors that he founded a chapter of the organization in his area. Shortly after that, he decided he needed to go into medicine. In 2008, he returned to Honduras on another medical mission, this time as a physician.
Matt went to Midwestern Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed his residency at St. Joseph’s Hospital in North Philadelphia, PA, where he was also Chief Resident. After residency, he moved back to Oregon to be with his two children and worked at Legacy Medical Group in St. Helens, OR. Although he enjoyed working at Legacy, memories of his childhood family doctor inspired him to open his own practice. Here Dr. Rose describes his inspiration:
“When I was growing up in Duxbury, Massachusetts, my physician lived at the end of my street. He knew me, and he knew my family. I always saw him, and when we had a problem, we could always reach him personally. More than anything I wanted to provide that kind of personalized care for my patients.”
Rose Medical Group is devoted to building this level of dedicated patient-physician relationships in the local community. In addition to seeing patients and medical directing the clinics, Matt also enjoys restoring antique cars, making silver jewelry, and studying paleontology and geology.
