Hematology oncology physician joins Pinehurst Medical Clinic
PINEHURST — Pinehurst Medical Clinic and FirstHealth of the Carolinas welcome oncologist and hematologist Matthew Scarlotta to the staff.
Scarlotta has joined PMC physicians Jeffrey Klotz, Laura Hanson, Charles Kuzma, Robert Pohlmeyer, Saritha Ravella, and Thomas Richard and advanced practice providers Susan Bazinet, Bobbi Clark, Jaime Delivuk, Alicia Libby, and Sarah Pearce serving patients at FirstHealth Cancer Center, 135 Page Road N. in Pinehurst.
Scarlotta received his bachelor’s degree in medical microbiology and immunology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He then earned his medical degree from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and furthered his education with a fellowship specializing in hematology and medical oncology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore.
Scarlotta says his passion for medical oncology stems from the opportunity to know patients on a deeper level rather than solely focus on one aspect of their care.
“The most rewarding aspect of my work is getting to know my patients, their families and their values so I can individualize their treatment to help them reach their goals,” said Scarlotta. “I also ensure that we take time to address other physical and emotional aspects of care that undoubtedly arise during a patient’s cancer treatment.”
Scarlotta will relocate to North Carolina with his wife, Leah, and their miniature dachshund, Frankie. Outside caring for patients, he enjoys spending time outdoors, typically golfing or fishing, and spending time with family and friends.
