MD, was presented the award at Olean General Hospital.
The awards are a result of nominations from employees and are presented semi-annually to physicians who
exhibit an exceptional level of professionalism, integrity and teamwork in caring for patients and families, as well as
interacting with hospital staff members and fellow physicians.
“Dr. Mathias joined Smethport Family Practice in November 2020. Since then, he has taken on call coverage for
pediatrics and has cared for inpatients at BRMC. We have had several patients comment on his patient care and bedside
manner. Every time I have asked Dr. Mathias to do something, he has generously agreed which betters the practices and
the community,” according to his nomination.
Dr. Mathias earned a medical degree at West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine and completed a general
surgery internship and family medicine residency at Madigan Army Medical Center in Tacoma, Wash. He specializes in
family practice and is certified by the American Board of Family Medicine. Before relocating to the area, Dr. Mathias
served in the U.S. Army and was medical director of Solider Centered Medical Home in Missouri where he cared for
patients of all ages as well as managed an ICU.
He is known for being kind and is regularly helpful to our staff. It is evident that Dr. Raza cares very much about going
above and beyond. I’ve had multiple community members describe him as one of the best. Dr. Raza makes our patients
feel better also by his personality and availability. It is evident he believes medicine is not the only thing that makes our
patients feel better. I’ve heard him say smiling and having a sense of humor is important as well,” according to his
nomination.
A hospitalist at OGH, Dr. Raza earned a medical degree at Liaquat Medical College and completed a family
practice residency at St. Elizabeth Medical Center. He is certified by the American Board of Family Practice.
