Cincinnati--The University of Cincinnati (UC) College of Medicine
Department of Surgery is very pleased to welcome five new surgeons to
the Cincinnati community. This group represents continued growth and
investment by the UC Department of Surgery in the areas of plastic and
reconstructive, vascular and cardio-thoracic surgery, and in
trauma/critical care. "We are excited about the new talent UC
Department of Surgery has been able to recruit to our team," said
Jeffrey Matthews, MD, chairman of the UC Department of Surgery. "In
spite of the challenges facing physicians' groups in the Cincinnati
market, we have been able to recruit these highly skilled surgeons
because they want to work with the best in their fields. They join a
team of nationally recognized clinical experts who care for patients
with the latest, most effective techniques and research that are the
hallmark of this academic medical center."

five doctors will be part of an expansion of the UC Department of
Surgery that is scheduled to open this fall at University Pointe in
