Matthew Hewetson, PA-C

Although born in Knoxville, TN, Matthew was raised in the suburbs of Atlanta, GA, in a family of devoted University of Tennessee fans. True to form, he charted his own course and attended the University of Georgia, where he earned his undergraduate degree in Cellular Biology and became a lifelong Dawgs fan. He later returned to Knoxville to complete his Master of Physician Assistant Studies at South College.

 

Matthew’s passion for dermatology began during his early years working as a dermatology medical assistant after college, where he discovered his love for patient care in this field. During that time, he had the unique opportunity to work with Dr. Glass while she was completing her dermatology residency in Georgia. Over a couple of years, she became both a mentor and friend, encouraging him to go back to school and start his career as a PA. When she moved to Clinton, NC, to open her practice, Matthew made a promise to join her as her PA and now he’s proud to be keeping that promise.

 

As a provider, Matthew prides himself on being approachable. He keeps the exam room lighthearted and fun while also being upfront and honest with patients about their diagnoses and treatment plans. He encourages patients to be active participants in their care and to make decisions they feel comfortable with. He cares for patients across the full spectrum of medical dermatology.

 

Outside the office, Matthew’s world revolves around his golden retriever, Aerith. She is his family, best friend, and daily source of joy. When not at work, you’ll likely find the two of them together going on adventures, playing outside, or just taking a walk around the neighborhood. Matthew also enjoys getting lost in the Star Wars universe and adding to his ever-growing Lego collection. And when fall rolls around, it’s all about his Dawgs and his dog.
