Dr. Matthew Colman Joins Northwestern Medicine, Ranked #6 in the Nation for Neurosurgery and Spine Surgery.

Posted on: August 14th, 2025 by Our Team

I’m excited to share that I’ve joined the outstanding team at Northwestern Medicine, part of a premier academic health system consistently ranked among the top hospitals in the nation. For the 14th consecutive year, Northwestern Memorial Hospital has been named to the U.S. News & World Report Best Hospital Honor Roll, and remains the only hospital in Illinois with this distinction, while also ranking #1 in both Illinois and the Chicago metro area for overall care.

What’s especially remarkable is Northwestern’s strength in specialized care—our orthopaedics, neurology, and neurosurgery programs are regularly named among the best in the country. In the Midwest, Northwestern ranks 6th for neurosurgery and neurology in the latest U.S. News top 50 lists. We also house the state’s only dedicated Spine Center where orthopaedic surgeons and neurosurgeons collaborate in the same clinic, ensuring seamless, personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs.

At Northwestern Medicine, excellence goes hand in hand with empathy. From minimally invasive surgical techniques to clear, compassionate communication, our goal is to ensure every patient feels heard, supported, and confident throughout their care journey.

I am proud to be part of a team that combines world-class expertise with genuine patient-centered care. If you’re exploring options for spine or neurosurgical treatment—or simply want to learn more about our approach—I’d love to connect.
