Matthew Pitman, FNP

Matt is a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) with over 30 years of experience in emergency medicine and family practice.  He has worked in the Beaufort County Emergency Department, Ocracoke Health Clinic, the Urgent Care Clinic on board Cherry Point Air Station, and the Emergency Department of Carteret Health Care.  He has long seen the need for more accessible healthcare in the DownEast area, and his goal for many years was to make that a reality.  His experience in family practice and emergency medicine are well suited to serve the needs of the DownEast community and residents of eastern Carteret County.

Matt has lifelong ties to DownEast.  He began visiting Carteret County as a boy on extended fishing trips with his grandfather, and his grandparents eventually settled on Harkers Island after retirement.  Matt and his wife, Michelle, who was raised in Craven and Carteret counties, permanently returned to Carteret County in 1996.  They enjoy anything outdoors and on the water, especially fishing and spending time at Cape Lookout.  Matt also enjoys making and collecting decoys.  He is a charter member of the Red Head Society of the Core Sound Waterfowl & Heritage Center and a member of the Core Sound Decoy Carvers Guild.

Bonnie, Official Greeter

May 6, 2013 – July 8, 2024

If you visited Pizer, you knew Bonnie.  She was the OG.  We miss her sweet gentle demeanor that calmed even the most anxious patients.  

Bonnie will often be the first to meet you when you come in the door.  Bonnie, a chocolate lab, was born just 5 days after we opened our doors at Pizer.  She has been a part of our practice from the beginning.  She comes to work with Matt daily and enjoys seeing our patients.  Her laid-back demeanor and tail that constantly wags are very calming to many patients, and she always brings many smiles.  In her free time, she enjoys trips to the local hardware store and bank drive-throughs for biscuits.

Fig, Greeter in Training

Fig joined Pizer Family Practice on January 7, 2025, as our Official Greeter in Training. She has big paws to fill but she is up to the job. Fig is learning fast. She looks forward to greeting our patients and making them leave with a smile.
