MATTHEW RAINWATER M.D., M.S., M.B.A

Dr. Matthew Rainwater has recently decided to join his father and become part of the Valley Urology team. He is excited to be returning to the Central Valley after spending 15 years in the midwest. During that time, Dr. Rainwater spent most of his time in Omaha, NE where he completed medical school and a couple other masters degrees. After starting his training in surgery, Dr. Rainwater decided he wanted to be more involved in patients everyday health. With that in mind, he moved back to the Central Valley to move forward as a general practitioner.

As Dr. Matthew Rainwater grew up surrounded by the world of urology, he does have a special interest in Men’s Health and Clinic Urology, which makes him a great new addition at Valley Urology. Additionally, being a General Practitioner allows Dr. M. Rainwater to broaden his practice to be able to see patients that may also need someone on their team that can help them live a healthier life. Which is why Dr. M. Rainwater is excited to start this next step in his career.
