Matthew Womack, M.D.
Dr. Matthew Womack, M.D., is an emergency medicine physician with more than 11 years of post-residency clinical experience. He has built his career exclusively in hospital-based emergency departments, where he provides acute, high-acuity care to patients from all walks of life. His work is centered on rapid evaluation, stabilization, and treatment of patients in critical and time-sensitive medical situations.
Dr. Womack earned his medical degree from Ross University School of Medicine, graduating in 2012. He completed his residency training in Emergency Medicine at the University of Toledo Medical Center from 2012 to 2015, where he developed the clinical skills and decision-making expertise required for emergency care. His training prepared him to manage a wide range of urgent and life-threatening conditions in fast-paced hospital environments.
Throughout his career, Dr. Womack has remained dedicated to emergency medicine practice, currently working in Cartersville, Georgia. He is affiliated with Wellstar North Fulton Hospital, where he continues to serve in the emergency department. His clinical focus includes trauma care, acute medical emergencies, and stabilization of critically ill patients, with a strong emphasis on delivering efficient and compassionate care.
Dr. Womack’s interest in medicine began in ninth grade after a basketball injury led to an MRI experience that initially sparked his curiosity in healthcare. While he originally considered radiology, his outgoing personality and desire for direct patient interaction ultimately guided him toward emergency medicine. He thrives in the dynamic, unpredictable nature of the emergency department and values the opportunity to help patients during some of their most vulnerable moments.
Outside of his medical practice, Dr. Womack is actively involved in his community through coaching youth basketball. This role reflects his commitment to mentorship, teamwork, and supporting the development of young people beyond the clinical setting. He continues to find fulfillment in both his professional work in emergency medicine and his contributions to youth sports and community engagement.

What do you enjoy most about practicing medicine?
What I enjoy most about practicing emergency medicine is the opportunity to help people during some of the most difficult and vulnerable moments of their lives. The emergency department is unique because it brings together patients from all walks of life, often on what may be their worst day. In those moments, my role is to do everything I can to provide care, stabilize their condition, and offer reassurance to both patients and their families.
I value the fast-paced and unpredictable nature of the emergency room, where every case is different and requires immediate readiness. Whether I am treating a minor injury like a sprained ankle or responding to life-threatening emergencies such as a heart attack or severe trauma, I approach every patient with the same level of focus and commitment. Being able to step in,
