a state college professor. I learned at an early age the value of commitment to
one's community and of service to others. After college, I served as Peace Corps
Volunteer in West Africa and my experience
there influenced my decision to pursue a career in medicine. I later served on
active duty in the US Navy, both overseas and in Virginia,
most recently caring for some of the active duty personnel returning from Afghanistan and Iraq.
I strongly believe in Harborview's mission to our community.
I am proud to work at a facility that promotes excellence in care to all
comers.
Furthermore, I believe that one of the biggest issues
today is people's feeling of disenfranchisement. Through open communication
patients become involved in their care and recovery. | | Clinic locations and days of week: | Harborview

An interview with Rick Matsen, M.D.
Dr Matsen has dedicated his entire professional life to developing excellence in Orthopedics and Sports Medicine at the University of Washington. Starting with his residency here in 1971 he developed an interest in shoulder and elbow reconstruction. A fellowship with the father of modern shoulder surgery, Dr Charles S. Neer II confirmed his lifetime commitment to improving the art of care of patients with simple and complex problems involving the shoulder and elbow.
