ST. PAUL, Minn. (10/14/26) – Amber Matzoll, PA-C, has joined Gillette Children’s Craniofacial and Plastic Surgery team as a physician assistant. She brings specialized pediatric surgical training and experience in craniofacial, plastic and reconstructive surgery.
Matzoll joined Gillette from Children’s Hospital Colorado, where she completed a highly specialized Pediatric Advanced Practice Provider Surgical Fellowship before serving as a physician assistant in Pediatric Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. In her role, she provided care for patients undergoing a wide range of plastic surgery procedures, including cleft and craniofacial surgery, orthognathic surgery and extremity reconstruction. She also managed inpatient and outpatient care, responded to emergency department consultations and performed specialized procedures including laser treatments, steroid injections and advanced wound care.
Matzoll earned her Master of Physician Assistant Studies from the University of Colorado Child Health Associate/Physician Assistant Program. She also holds a Bachelor of Arts in Biology with a minor in Spanish from the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota, where she was an Aquinas Scholar. She speaks Spanish, supporting communication with Spanish-speaking patients and families.
“I love working in craniofacial care because our patients often require long-term, multidisciplinary care, which makes collaboration, continuity and strong relationships essential,” Matzoll said. “Through empathy, advocacy and education, I strive to provide patient-centered, high-quality care.”
In addition to her clinical experience, Matzoll serves as a mentor for current Pediatric Advanced Practice Provider Surgical Fellows at Children’s Hospital Colorado, helping support education, skills development and curriculum enhancement. She is a member of the American Academy of Physician Associates and the Association of Plastic Surgery Physician Assistants.
At Gillette, Matzoll cares for patients with conditions including craniosynostosis, congenital nevi, deformational plagiocephaly, birthmarks and vascular anomalies, cleft lip and palate, torticollis and trigger thumb. She sees patients at Gillette’s St. Paul, Burnsville and Maple Grove locations.
