Dr. Mathews worked as a staff radiologist at Women’s & Children’s Hospital in Lafayette for thirteen years. He was the medical director of Diagnostic Imaging Services for nine of those years and responsible for all pediatric and women’s imaging services. As the demand for his breast imaging services grew, Dr. Mathews became more involved and specialized in breast imaging and decided to focus his entire practice on breast imaging.

In 2008 Dr. Mathews decided to follow his passion and dream and founded his own independent breast imaging center, Breast Center of Acadiana.
