A Physician Assistant whose emergency-medicine background means steady hands, always
Meet Matthew Felix, a dedicated Physician Assistant at Instant Urgent Care with a distinct clinical advantage — hard-earned emergency medicine experience. Originally from New Hampshire, Matthew's journey into medicine has taken him through several parts of the country, shaping him into a provider who is as comfortable with a sprain as he is with more complex presentations.
Matthew earned his Bachelor of Science at Allegany College, then continued his medical training at the University of St. Francis in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where he furthered his expertise and clinical foundation. His dedication to continuous learning is a hallmark of his practice — he stays ahead of the latest developments in medicine so his patients benefit from the most current evidence-based care.
What makes Matthew's clinical judgment unusually sharp is his two years in an ER bootcamp in Las Vegas, Nevada — a fast-paced, high-acuity training ground that taught him to remain calm, focused, and decisive under pressure. Today, that translates into an urgent care provider who can quickly triage what's serious, reassure what's not, and get you out the door with a clear plan.
Matthew's approach to patient care is firmly rooted in preventive medicine and patient education. He believes the most powerful medicine is knowledge — helping patients understand their bodies, their conditions, and the steps they can take to stay well. Outside the clinic, he's an avid hiker, tennis player, and reader of nonfiction. His palate favors Japanese cuisine and a scoop of strawberry ice cream.
