About Dr. Koscielski

Matthew Koscielski, MD, became interested in a career in medicine because of his father, a family physician. “I watched how he cared for his patients and the amount of time and devotion he took to help people through their illnesses,” he says.

Dr. Koscielski studied at the University of Notre Dame and then at the IU School of Medicine. While doing his residency at St. Vincent Hospital, Indianapolis, he was exposed to Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine. “I became interested in this field during my Internal Medicine training while working with a mentor within the ICU at St. Vincent’s Hospital, Indy,” he says.

Today, he uses his training to help patients manage asthma, COPD, lung cancer, pulmonary fibrosis. He is the Medical Director of the Intensive Care Unit and provides care for those patients. His philosophy and approach to care is to take the time to sit and listen to patients and really understand what they are telling him. This provides him with the information to treat them properly, whether that is finding the right diagnostic study, ordering a needed medication, or pursing certain interventions. Like his father, his patients can be confident that he is available to help them whenever he is needed to address a medical concern.

Dr. Koscielski chose Beacon for numerous reasons. Its leadership and growth as a regional referral center appealed to him, as well as the Level II Trauma Center, and commitment of providing exceptional quality care to patients.

In his own words…

Who is or was the most influential people/role models in your life?  My mother and father because of their faith, devotion, work ethic, and compassion for others.

What was your first job growing up? What do you remember about it?  In grade school, cutting lawns during the summer and shoveling snow in the winter. I remember as the number of jobs increased, I learned the importance of time management.

What is your favorite food? Movie? What was your best/worst subjects in school growing up?  

Food: Spaghetti and meatballs

Movie: Miracle on Ice

Best subject in school: Chemistry

Worst subject in school: Literature

If you could sit down to dinner with anyone (alive or deceased) who would it be and why?  My grandparents. I would like to understand how they felt immigrating to the U.S. from Italy with a suitcase, and how they struggled to fulfill the “American Dream.”

In addition to medicine, what are you passionate about? What are your hobbies, interests?  Running, fishing, golfing
