A New Specialist Enhances Our ENT Team

Southwest Health is boosting access to quality ear, nose, and throat (ENT) care for the people of southwest Wisconsin with the addition of Matthew T. Lister, MD. Dr. Lister is a board certified otolarynogologist (head and neck surgeon) and a clinical associate professor at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. He joins fellow otolaryngologist Paul Staskowski, MD in seeing patients at the Platteville Clinic at Southwest Health.

“We are very pleased to bring Dr. Lister’s talents to southwest Wisconsin,” says Southwest Health Chief Operating Officer Steve McCarthy. “When it comes to ENT and other specialty care, we believe the people of our area deserve the same quality care they would receive in Madison, and the team of Dr. Lister and Dr. Staskowski allows us to do exactly that.”

Dr. Lister earned his medical degree from the University of Wisconsin- Madison in 2002. He completed a General Surgery Internship at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, MA, and performed his residency training through the Harvard Otolaryngology Program at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary as well as at other Boston hospitals.  Dr. Lister will offer a comprehensive range of diagnostic, therapeutic, and cutting edge surgical care for adult and pediatric patients. He specializes in nose and throat conditions as well as head and neck surgery. In his general practice he treats a wide variety of chronic ear disease, eustachian tube disorders, sinusitis, and nasal breathing problems, employing minimally-invasive, endoscopic, and image-guided surgical techniques. In addition, he treats patients with benign and malignant masses in the head and neck, including enlarged lymph nodes, cysts, and tumors of the salivary glands, thyroid, mouth, and throat.

“I am excited to work with the patients, physicians, and other providers at Southwest Health,” says Dr. Lister. “No matter the setting, I am committed to providing the best ear, nose, and throat care possible, and it is evident the organization shares in that commitment.”
