Fox Valley Orthopedics welcomes new spine specialist
Fox Valley Orthopedics welcomes Dr. Lauren Matteini to their team of physicians. Dr. Matteini is a board-certified, fellowship trained spine specialist who is now accepting new patients.
Dr. Matteini received her Doctorate of Medicine from Georgetown University School of Medicine, Washington, DC. She remained in DC to complete her Orthopaedic Surgery residency at George Washington University Hospital. She then joined the prestigious Orthopaedic and Neurosurgery departments as the spine Fellow at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, VA. Dr. Matteini is published in medical journals and author of several book chapters.
"I treat both pediatric and adult patients and care for the whole spine - cervical, thoracic, and lumbar areas. I am able to utilize both nonsurgical treatments and highly advanced surgical procedures to improve quality of life," said Dr. Matteini. "I specialize in deformity correction, revision spine surgery, degenerative disc disease, scoliosis, disc herniation, nerve impingement, and stenosis. Minimally invasive and motion sparing techniques are also in my toolbox for certain patients and disorders. As a physician, I also enjoy teaching others, and being a fierce advocate on my patients' behalf."
Dr. Matteini will be on staff at Advocate Sherman Hospital, Amita Health Saint Joseph Hospital, and Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital.
She is a proud Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Dr. Matteini is also an Initiate of the American College of Surgeons, and will be a sworn Fellow this fall. Additionally, she is an active member of American Women Surgeons, North American Spine Society, and Ruth Jackson Orthopaedic Society.
