Highlights
Meet Interventional Neuroradiologist Matthew Austin, MD
My name is Matthew Austin. I'm an interventional neuroradiologist in the department of radiology at UVA and I practice at Bon Secours St. Mary's Hospital in Richmond, Virginia. I see all types of patients who have neurovascular abnormalities. I think my specialty is very unique in that we can treat very complex neurovascular issues and patients can either go home the next day or have a very short hospital stay, whereas historically they may have had to have very long hospital stays and very complex complications that could be associated with those surgeries. When patients come to see me, they can expect a very high quality of care. What I like to do is be very thorough, review all the data and the literature, and also my own anecdotal experience, and help them to make a decision that works best for them. I think the most rewarding aspect of my job is really partnering with the patients and their families and seeing them evolve through the process and learn about the disease process and overcome it.
