Matthew Du, MD

Matthew grew up in Orange County, CA, then Dallas, Texas where his family resides today. After attending Princeton University for his undergraduate studies, he spent his gap year living and working in Lawndale, one of Chicago’s most underserved neighborhoods, at a federally qualified health center. He learned what it meant to love one’s neighborhood while seeking its welfare in creative ways such as helping the health center launch a transportation program for patient appointments as well as raise awareness for its aquaponics farm that provides fresh produce and jobs for the community. He then attended medical school at the University of Chicago where he developed a love for neurology in his third year. His passion for neurology comes from the unique burden patients with neurological disease experience and the opportunity to help these patients navigate their illness journey. Matthew hopes to combine his passions of community health, doctor-patient communication, and clinical and virtue ethics as a neurologist. Finally, Matthew is an avid violist and guitarist who loves to connect with others through musical performance, including his patients. He feels so blessed and honored to be receiving his neurology training at UCLA and now lives with his wife, Whitney, and dog, Penny, in the great city of Sherman Oaks in the San Fernando valley.
