About

I’m Dr. Matthew George, a double board-certified vascular and general surgeon, and I’m committed to improving the health of our community. I helped establish the first vascular surgical practice at AnMed and was part of the team that developed our hybrid operating room. This technology allows us to offer the most advanced surgical procedures right here at home, so you don’t have to travel far for expert care.

Medical Interests

My specialty is combining traditional and modern endovascular techniques to offer minimally invasive treatments that help you recover faster and get back to your life as soon as possible. But I don’t just focus on the condition—I focus on you. Every patient is different, and I work closely with you and your family to create a treatment plan that fits your unique needs and lifestyle. Through shared decision-making, I’ll make sure you understand your options so you can feel confident about your care.

Approach to Care

I know that dealing with vascular conditions can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to go through it alone. My goal is to make sure you feel informed and supported every step of the way. I’ll take the time to listen, answer your questions, and design a care plan that works for you—not just medically, but in a way that minimizes the impact on your daily life. With a combination of evidence-based medicine and a compassionate approach, I’ll help you get the best possible outcome.

Personal

I grew up in rural Arkansas, where I learned the value of hard work early on. After high school, I worked for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers while putting myself through college. One of the most meaningful experiences I had during that time was working as a counselor at Camp Aldersgate, a camp for children with disabilities. That experience deepened my passion for patient care and showed me just how much of a difference compassionate medicine can make.

I went on to attend the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, working as a phlebotomist and laboratory technician to support myself through medical school. Those hands-on experiences shaped my approach to patient care, emphasizing the importance of both skill and empathy.

Outside of work, I spend most of my time with my wife, who teaches nursing at Clemson University, and our three kids. We live on a small farm that sometimes feels like a zoo, but we wouldn’t have it any other way. Whether we’re taking care of animals, enjoying the outdoors, or just keeping up with daily life, there’s always something happening.
