Matthew Taon
@matthewtaon
I lead high-volume interventional radiology care, including prostate artery embolization and complex procedures.
What I'm looking for
I serve as Interventional Radiology Director at Urology San Antonio, where I run a high-volume prostate artery embolization practice.
My training includes independent interventional radiology residency at the University of Texas Health Science Center and service as an interventional radiology physician and element leader at Brooke Army Medical Center/San Antonio Military Medical Center. I'm also a U.S. Air Force veteran.
I develop and apply techniques across hepatobiliary disease, trauma, transplant-related interventions, vascular interventions, and biopsies. My published work includes percutaneous access of windowless abscesses and percutaneous colocutaneous fistula closure using a suture-mediated closure device.
Beyond clinical practice, I chair radiology for the Methodist Podiatry Residency, provide expert medical-witness services, and have built simulation curricula for residents focused on critical care, ventilator management, ultrasound-guided procedures, and endovascular techniques.
