Dr. Matthew Cox is a fellowship-trained otologist and a diplomate of the American Board of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery. As a physician with the Florida Otolaryngology Group, P.A., he is committed to providing high quality care and helping his patients to understand all available treatment options to help them create an individualized care plan that best suits their specific needs. His practice focuses on otology and neurotology, with expertise in the management of chronic otitis media, cholesteatoma, disorders of the tympanic membrane and ossicles, Ménière’s disease, and all types of hearing loss.
Dr. Cox completed undergraduate studies in chemistry at the Florida State University, during which time he was elected to the Phi Beta Kappa national honor society. He later attended the Florida State University College of Medicine for his medical doctorate, where he was elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha medical honor society and selected as the recipient of the prestigious Orlando Regional Campus Dean’s Award for outstanding performance and contribution to the class of 2011.
Dr. Cox then completed residency training in the Department of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, where he also went on to complete his fellowship training in otology and neurotology under the mentorship of Dr. John L. Dornhoffer.
Dr. Cox is a member of the American Academy of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) and the Politzer Society, the International Society for Otologic Surgery and Science. He currently sees patients in the Winter Park and Metrowest offices and holds staff privileges at Orlando Regional Medical Center, Dr. P. Phillips Hospital and the University Surgical Center.
Dr. Cox employs specialized surgical techniques, including cartilage grafting, retrograde mastoidectomy, and mastoid obliteration to ensure optimal surgical outcomes. He is pleased to offer the latest technology in implanted hearing devices, including all three manufacturers of cochlear implants (Cochlear Corp., Advanced Bionics, and Med-El) and two styles of bone-anchored hearing aids (Connect and Attract).
Dr. Cox has been extensively involved in numerous clinical research studies relating to otologic surgery outcomes, middle ear reconstruction, and implanted hearing devices. He has presented his results on numerous occasions at major national and international conferences. His work has been recognized with a Clinical Poster Award at the Combined Otolaryngology Spring Meetings in 2016 in Chicago, Illinois, as well as the Excellence in Resident Research Award, which he received in 2013 and 2016. His results have been published in over a dozen peer-reviewed articles in major academic journals, such as Otology and Neurotology and Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery and he has authored five textbook chapters on topics within the disciplines of otology, neurotology and otolaryngology. Dr. Cox has been an invited reviewer for six peer-reviewed journals due to his subject matter expertise and experience in publication.
Outside of medicine, his hobbies include photography, drawing, physical fitness, and riding bicycles and motorcycles.
