About Matthew D. Driscoll, MD

  • Effective Monday, January 19, 2026, Dr. Driscoll is seeing patients at ARC Greenlawn Specialty. He is no longer seeing patients at ARC Round Rock.


    Dr. Matthew D. Driscoll is a fellowship-trained Orthopedic Surgeon in Austin, TX, specializing in sports medicine, arthroscopy, knee surgery, and comprehensive shoulder surgery. Following his orthopedic residency training, Dr. Driscoll spent an additional year developing expertise in sports medicine and arthroscopic surgery before returning to Central Texas.

    Dr. Driscoll, a native Texan, attended The University of Texas at Austin and graduated summa cum laude. He received his medical degree from Baylor College of Medicine, where he was awarded the Presidential Scholarship and graduated with Alpha Omega Alpha honors. He completed his orthopedic surgery residency training at Scott and White Memorial Hospital, then completed additional training in Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy at the Southern California Orthopedic Institute (SCOI). While at SCOI, he had the opportunity to work directly with some of the pioneers of arthroscopic and minimally invasive surgery of the shoulder and knee. 

    Throughout his career, Dr. Driscoll has been actively involved in research and education, authoring numerous scientific articles and textbook chapters and presenting research nationally and internationally. His research interests include optimizing knee stability in ACL reconstruction, biologic augmentation of meniscus healing, surgical treatment of shoulder instability and associated bone injury, and functional outcomes following knee surgery.

    Dr. Driscoll and his wife live in Austin with their two children. In his free time, Dr. Driscoll enjoys UT athletics, grilling, and spending time with friends and family.

My goal is to provide patients with the same level of excellent service and compassionate care that I would offer a member of my own family.

    Great new office! Staff is wonderful. Thank you

  • March 18, 2026

    It was my daughter’s first time seeing the doctor. He was professional and answered all her questions.

  • March 17, 2026

    Dr. Driscoll was excellent. I was coming in for a third opinion and he was the only Doctor that actually viewed my images instead of just going with what the report said. He talked me through the images and helped me understand what the images showed. He was personable and thorough and I overall had a great visit. We don’t have all the answers just yet, but we were able to rule out a few concerns.
