Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. Dr. Raisen wants her patients to enjoy a sense of well-being in body, mind, and spirit. Dr. Raisen provides care, commitment, and communication to her patients to help them achieve their health goals. Her philosophy includes the philosophy of Dr. William Osler, a prominent founder of modern medicine. He said, ""It is better to know the patient who has the disease, than to know the disease that the patient has." Dr. Raisen interviews patients about their medical concerns as well as about lifestyle including diet and exercise, family, current love relationships, career, and how they express themselves creatively. In your opinion, what should be the role of a primary care provider for a patient, taking into account both physical health and behavioral health needs? A physician uses her extensive clinical experience to treat a wide range of disease. The physician also empowers a patient in improving their health and well-being. Dr. Raisen's special interests include women's health and lifestyle and preventative medicine. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time?
