A native of Norfolk, Virginia, Dr. Tillou received his Bachelor of Science in Chemistry at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah, where he made the Dean’s List, coached high school baseball, worked in a pathology lab, and volunteered at a free medical clinic.
During his undergraduate studies, he earned the Bioscience Undergraduate Research Mini-grant and received the Comprehensive Chemistry Award and Undergraduate Research Scholar award.
Dr. Tillou eventually returned home to attend medical school at the University of Virginia School of Medicine in Charlottesville, Virginia, where he received the Dr. Graham Clark Scholarship and the Charles & Bernice McKay Scholarship.
After graduation, Dr. Tillou completed his general surgery residency at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, a teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts. He completed an additional colorectal surgery fellowship at MedStar Washington Hospital Center in Washington, D.C.
While completing his training, Dr. Tillou co-authored several book chapters and papers. He also received the highest score on the annual colorectal training exam.
Dr. Tillou has undergone advanced training in minimally invasive, robotic, and transanal colon and rectal surgery techniques. He has a particular interest in the treatment and management of colon cancer, anal pain, and anal cancer.
In addition, Dr. Tillou holds many professional affiliations, including the American Society of Colon & Rectal Surgeons, American College of Surgeons, Medical Society of Virginia, and Chesapeake Colorectal Society.
Outside of work, Dr. Tillou enjoys hiking, skiing, playing guitar, and spending time with his family.
“Both Dr Tillou and his assistant were great. They both made an unpleasant exam and procedure as comfortable as possible. Dr Tillou was great at explaining everything before, during and after and what to expect and look out for and why. Front desk person was great too. I would definitely highly recommend Dr Tillou and his team.”
Kimberly Matzie, MD, FACS, FASCRS, is a board-certified colon and rectal surgeon at Fairfax Colon & Rectal Surgery, PC.
Dr. Matzie was born and raised in Granby, Connecticut. She decided to pursue a career in medicine after undergoing an operation in her freshman year of college. The procedure went well, but the surgeon didn’t have the best bedside manner, and no one on the surgical team explained the process or what to expect during recovery.
Dr. Matzie left the hospital inspired and committed to making interactions with her patients both positive and informative. After earning her undergraduate degree at Harvard College in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Dr. Matzie enrolled at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.
There, she earned her Doctor of Medicine before completing a residency in general surgery at Brigham & Women’s Hospital in Boston. While there, Dr. Matzie also completed fellowships in clinical research, surgical care, and critical care.
Before entering private practice, Dr. Matzie completed fellowship training in colon and rectal surgery at Cleveland Clinic Florida in Weston. She received extensive tutelage in advanced laparoscopy for small bowel, colon, and rectal surgeries.
As a colon and rectal surgeon, Dr. Matzie has special interests in Transanal Endoscopic Microsurgery (TEM), a minimally invasive approach to removing large rectal polyps and early cancers not responsive to colonoscopy excision or other traditional techniques.
When she isn’t at work, Dr. Matzie enjoys spending time with her husband, Chris, and their two daughters.

Elizabeth Alexandra Zubowicz, MD, FACS, FASMBS is a board-certified general surgeon. She specializes in bariatric surgery and hernia surgery. She performs both open as well as minimally invasive surgery, with a focus on robotic surgery and its advancement in the realm of general surgery. She has performed over 1000 bariatric procedures and has a passion for helping patients get healthier.
One of the biggest concerns post bariatric surgery is “loose skin.” After so much hard work and effort to lose weight and get healthier, patients still have this loose skin that can significantly impact their quality of life and self-image. Skin removal surgery is rarely covered by insurance and can be an extremely long and painful recovery.
In addition, being a mother of 2, she personally felt the body image challenges of having permanent loose/sagging abdominal skin no matter how many crunches after having babies. After extensive research, Dr. Zubowicz was impressed by the significant results from minimally laser techniques for loose/wrinkled skin and decided to incorporate it into her practice.
This market-leading body-contouring technology can be used on many areas of the body and can help improve skin laxity after weight loss, pregnancy or aging. It is also great for removing those last stubborn areas of fat that just can’t be lost no matter how much weight one loses.
She is extremely excited to now offer these skin tightening and rejuvenating techniques as well as other minimally invasive approaches to graceful aging and improved overall body wellness at Thrive Medspa.
Dr. E. Alexandra Zubowicz is a board-certified general surgeon and a Fellow of the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery as well as the American College of Surgeons. Dr. Zubowicz received her medical degree from University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio. She completed her residency at the Georgetown-Medstar General Surgery Residency Program in Washington, DC. She has presented at numerous regional and national conferences and has been published in multiple peer-reviewed publications.
Dr. Zubowicz is originally from Atlanta, Georgia. She has an interest in medical mission work and has been on several medical mission trips, in both Ecuador and in the Philippines. Her husband is active duty with the United States Army, and they have two daughters Gabrielle and Sophia.
