BWFH welcomes new urological surgeon

Brigham and Women’s Division of Urological Surgery at Brigham and Women’s Faulkner Hospital is pleased to welcome Matthew Mossanen, MD. In the OR at BWFH, Dr. Mossanen will perform both open and robotic oncology cases, including robotic prostatectomy and partial nephrectomy.

Dr. Mossanen studied medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. He also holds a master’s degree in Public Health from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Dr. Mossanen completed a residency in Urology at the University of Washington in Seattle followed by a fellowship in Urologic Oncology in the Combined Harvard Urologic Oncology Fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital. He will be board eligible by the American Board of Urology in 2020.

Dr. Mossanen, who’s research and clinical interests include bladder cancer, kidney cancer, kidney masses/cysts, laparoscopic surgery, penile cancer, prostate cancer, robotic surgery and testicular cancer, says he is looking forward to his time in the OR at BWFH. “I am looking forward to working with the staff, they are wonderful,” he says. “I know many of them from when I worked here previously as a fellow.”

Outside of work, Dr. Mossanen enjoys spending time with family and friends, traveling and running outdoors, “but only if it’s not too cold!” he says.
