CoagulationDisorders near Loveland, CO

Care Philosophy: When I was little, my dad (who is a physician) took my brother and I on hospital rounds. I think based on that experience -at the ripe age of 6- I announced to my parents that I was going to be a doctor. Throughout high school and undergrad, he took me to the local Tumor Board meeting. I thought the entire aspect of oncology was fascinating but wasn't sure I would be able to support patients with potential for such intense grief and loss. I then chose a medical oncologist as my clinical preceptor during the first two years of medical school. I fell in love with the patients and the relationship he the oncologist was able to develop with the patient and their families.Once I was in internal medicine residency at Banner Good Samaritan Hospital in Phoenix, I was able to rotate on the BMT service and again things clicked. I was a matched for fellowship in Denver and decided to enjoy seasons as well as the fantastic life Colorado has to offer. As a physician specializing in blood cancers and blood/marrow transplant, I have the opportunity to offer patients potential cures from their cancer or live with their disease and not die from it. I love participating in research, but being with patients is what drives me. I'm so fortunate to have found CBCI where I can do both. I've been on both sides of cancer as my mother passed from acute leukemia and I strive to be the doctor she and my family needed blending medical expertise and matching that with patient goals and quality of life.I believe that patients place an amazing amount of trust in their oncologist to guide them through their treatments. My goal is to earn that trust being not only a doctor, but a teacher as well. I work to ensure my patients understand their disease and treatments. I strive to ensure I understand a patient's goals and fears and help guide treatment decisions that honor those values.

Care Philosophy: I enjoy working with new patients and getting to know them and their families. Patients are faced with many difficult decisions, so I try to guide them in assessing their treatment options.

Care Philosophy: Dr. Matous' practice philosophy is that it is an honor and privilege to care for patients with blood cancers, and to make available to them the most up to date, innovated and appropriate treatment while respecting their individuality and dignity.

Care Philosophy: I believe in the human element of medicine. Patients deserve a partner in care. To that end, I am dedicated to open communication with each patient so that together we can establish a relationship built on trust and work together toward the best outcome possible.

Care Philosophy: I have experienced cancer firsthandfirst, as a teen when my father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Shortly after, I was diagnosed with acute leukemia. These experiences are what brought me to this career and are what drive my passion for treating my patients. It also gives me unique insight into and empathy for what my patients and their families are experiencing, which adds an additional layer to my care.
