Dr. Matthew Ammerman, MD, FAANS
Dr. Matthew Ammerman, was born and raised in the Washington DC area. He attended Winston Churchill HS and then went to Emory University in Atlanta, GA where he obtained a BS in Biology graduating with Highest Honors, and met his future wife Allie. Dr. Matt then moved back to Washington, DC, where he went to medical school at the George Washington University following in the footsteps of his father, uncles, cousin and brother. He graduated from medical school with honors, and then continued at the George Washington University to complete a 1 year surgical internship and 5 years of neurosurgical residency.
During his time as a resident he found his calling in minimally invasive spine surgery. Upon completion of his neurosurgery residency, he began a fellowship with Dr. Kevin Foley at the University of Tennessee in Memphis. The focus of his fellowship was minimally invasive techniques in spinal surgery, applied to degenerative spinal conditions, spinal trauma and spinal oncology. He also spent time during his fellowship working in a biomechanics lab under the direction of Denis D’Angelo through the University of Tennessee, testing various spinal models and surgical implants. He presented research findings at national and international neurosurgical meetings. During this time he also developed an interest in traumatic brain injury and its treatment.
After fellowship, Dr. Matt returned to join his brother at Washington Neurosurgical Associates. This practice was started by his Grandfather (over 50 years ago) and soon thereafter his father joined. Harvey Ammerman and Bruce Ammerman practiced together for 15 years. They have both passed away but the practice thrives with the continued Ammerman legacy and the addition of Dr. Joshua Wind.
Dr. Matt continues the family tradition of patient focused neurological care. He has academic appointments at the George Washington University and Johns Hopkins University, and works with their associated residents in training. He continues to focus on various spinal conditions with a minimally invasive approach - treating cancer, degenerative conditions and trauma. He also has a continued interest in traumatic brain injury, post concussive disorder and its treatment. Dr. Matt continues to accept new patients and remains focused on patient-centered care in a time that is moving away from personalized patient care. Dr. Matt enjoys hiking, fishing, traveling and running as well as spending time with his family.
