Dr. Stan Wisniewski
Mission Statement
I find myself encountering many people who feel that there is a great need for a "good family physician". When I ask them what their criteria is for "good", they answer "one who cares whether I live or die."
I fall into this category of family physician. My priority is to treat each patient as if they were a member of my own family; not just treating symptoms, but rather treating my patient as a whole person and their families as extensions of my own. My "mission", for lack of a better word, is to improve the quality of life for my patients and their families.
