Matthew Perri, D.N.P.

I am a nurse practitioner (NP) in Orthopedics and Sports Medicine. As an orthopedic NP, I specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of orthopedic injuries, with a particular interest in degenerative, traumatic and sports-related disorders. I have been practicing here since 2019.

I became an orthopedic NP because I enjoy understanding the complexity of the body’s musculoskeletal system, and I want to use that knowledge to relieve my patients’ pain and restore their physical function. I believe strongly in shared decision-making, and I always try to consider a variety of non-operative treatments first. However, when surgery is required, I encourage patients to ask questions to ensure they are comfortable with their treatment plan.

Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, traveling and all things college football. I used to compete as a collegiate soccer player. Currently, when time and weather permits, I enjoy running and participating in half marathons along with my wife.
