Biography
Matthew Hornick, MD is a pediatric surgeon who treats a broad array of conditions in patients ranging in age from newborns to young adults. He feels very fortunate to have the opportunity to treat surgical problems in children, and as a father of two boys, understands that there is nothing more important to parents than their kids’ health and well-being. His primary goal is to provide his patients with the same level of care that he would want and expect for his own children.
Dr. Hornick earned his medical degree at Yale and completed his General Surgery training at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. As a research fellow at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, he contributed to the development of an “artificial placenta” model to support extremely premature babies. Following residency, he completed clinical fellowship in Pediatric Surgery at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
