Matthew Dow, DO is a board-certified Family Medicine and Sports Medicine physician specializing in non-surgical orthopedic care, sports injuries, and concussion management. He cares for patients of all ages—from youth athletes to active adults—helping them recover from injury, manage musculoskeletal conditions, and return safely to the activities they enjoy.

Dr. Dow provides comprehensive evaluation and treatment of all joint conditions. His services include diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound and ultrasound-guided injections, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP), tailored to each patient’s condition and goals. He also provides individualized concussion care, including guidance for a safe return to school, work, exercise, and sport.

A former ice hockey goalie at the University of North Texas, Dr. Dow understands firsthand the importance of staying active and returning to the activities that matter most.
