Heather Matheny, MD, MS

Dr. Heather Matheny

Hometown:

Clovis, CA

Undergraduate School:

University of California, Irvine

Graduate School:

Boston University

Medical School:

Drexel University College of Medicine

Bio:

I was born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma, before moving to Boston, Massachusetts, and settling in the California East Bay with my family. I had an interest in pursuing Medicine for as long as I can remember, but I followed a non-traditional path spending time working as an interior designer for a few years before going on to medical school and then completing a General Surgery Residency. I am looking forward to beginning specialized training in Vascular Surgery at UW.

Personal Interests:

Spending time with my family, friends, and Yorkshire Terrier, Charlie. Traveling. Interior Design. Soccer. Running.

Clinical Interests:

All aspects of Vascular Surgery, Clinical Education, Research

Professional Activities:

American College of Surgeons Resident member, Society for Vascular Surgery Trainee Candidate, American Medical Association Resident member

Why UW?

UW simply had all of the components that I felt were important for my Vascular Surgery fellowship experience: a well-respected and long running fellowship program at a high-volume center with a large catchment area, and technically skilled and dedicated faculty.
