IN MEMORIAM 

Dr. Matthew J Hickey

Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine

Captain

Medical Corps

United States Navy

SEAL 

Dr. Matt Hickey and I had a dream to open up NEUCOA clinic in 2017.  

In 2019 we had that opportunity with the soul intent of taking care of our SEAL Team teammates, Military/Veterans and their families suffering from TBI, poor sleep, PTSD, depression and anxiety symptoms.  We made the process simple, efficient, affordable and a compassionate experience.  

Our team is proud of what we have created and how we have been able to provide life changing medical care to over 400 of our patients/“families” from all over the world with a safe, non-pharmaceutical and non-invasive treatment modality.  

We will continue to provide World Class care to each and every patient as we honor Matt's legacy. 

Hooyah My Brother!
