Matthew Tulloch, M.D.

I grew up, the youngest of three brothers, in a growing community in Washington Township, New Jersey.  My parents both worked outside of the house and I was taught at a young age to take responsibility not only for myself and my surroundings, but to work as an integral family team member.  I enjoyed high school as a member of the marching band (the drummer - of course) and took a special interest in the sciences. My undergraduate studies at Loyola College in Baltimore, MD earned me a degree in Biology and I knew that my next step would be medical school. (My mother could finally boast ..."a doctor in the family").

I chose to attend medical school at the University of Medicine and Dentistry (no, I don't pull teeth!) of New Jersey - Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and did my residency in Family Practice at Memorial Hospital of Burlington County, New Jersey. The residency program at Memorial Hospital was set up as a regular family practice office serving the local population. At the end of the second year of my residency, I was asked by my peers to take on the role of Chief Resident and spent my third year with the added responsibility of liaison between faculty and residents. After graduation from residency, I accepted a position with a new family practice group forming in Dover, Delaware.

I loved what I was doing and spent the next three years building strong relationships and trust with my patients, colleagues and other professionals essential to the  practice of medicine.  In 1998, I brought what I had learned in training and practice to Long Neck, Delaware and the surrounding communities. My philosophy is to treat the "whole" person, not just as an individual but also as an active family and community member. I continue to look forward to meeting and getting to know each of you and your family.
