Matthew V. Diltz, M.D. is a board-eligible and fellowship-trained
orthopedic surgeon specializing in Sports Medicine. He is a native
of Southern California. After graduating from the University of
Southern California with a major in Sports Medicine and Exercise
Physiology, he traveled to New Orleans to attend medical school at Tulane University. He returned for his residency at the University of California at Irvine. He completed his training at Boston Children’s Hospital–Harvard with a fellowship in Adult and Pediatric Sports Medicine.

Dr. Diltz has worked with athletes of all levels. He has served as
team physician for local high schools, Babson College, Northeastern University, and the Boston Ballet. While at Harvard, he has received special training in hip arthroscopy and the treatment of complex ACL injuries. Dr Diltz believes in an integrated approach to treatment of sports injuries, with the involvement of physical therapist and trainers. He is committed to providing the highest level of care to each and every individual that comes to his practice. “I believe it is important to sit down with the patient and determine their goals, then use the resources available to achieve an optimal result.”

Dr. Diltz remains involved in clinical and basic science research.
While at the Biomechanics Laboratory at the VA Medical Center
in Long Beach, he explored the mechanism of complex elbow injuries and the methods to correct them. Multiple articles are also
in preparation as well as book chapters for Operative Techniques
in Pediatric Orthopaedics. At Desert Orthopedic Center, Dr Diltz is
investigating methods to determine the health of articular cartilage before surgery and minimally invasive techniques to preserve the joint.

Memberships include American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery,
American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, California Orthopaedic Association, and California Medical Association.
Matthew Diltz enjoys spending time with his wife and two young
children. He also enjoys playing golf and jogging.
