Lisa A. Mack, MSN, APRN

I became a gynecologic oncologist because I wanted to serve as a guide and companion on my patients journey from diagnosis to wellness. A diagnosis of cancer leaves patients with feelings of fear and a loss of control over their lives. I strive to provide women and their families with the information they need to make informed decisions about their care. I am honest about what treatment options we have and what options we do not have and why. We have conversations about how my patients want to integrate their values and priorities into their therapy. The best therapeutic relationship between a patient and her physician comes from mutual trust, respect, and honest dialogue. I cherish the opportunity to get to know my patients and their families. Its a privilege and honor to see my patients persevere and thrive. I find great satisfaction knowing I can make their journey easier and that they dont have to face the tough decisions alone. It is one of lifes greatest rewards to watch my patients overcome their fears and feel a sense of triumph in being able to get back to their lives.

My approach to patient care centers around compassion, empathy, and getting to know you as an individual. As your healthcare provider, you can expect a level of understanding that goes beyond just your medical needs. I'm motivated by my passion for serving the community and working collaboratively with my patients. Specializing in gastroenterology allows me to combine my interest in education with hands-on patient care. For me, a successful outcome of the care I provide means building lasting patient-doctor relationships. I strive to take time to truly understand you – your interests, family, and health concerns. Overcoming health challenges becomes more meaningful when we share these lasting connections. I listen to my patients and am dedicated to addressing their concerns and questions. I try to simplify medical terminology with visuals like pictures, diagrams, and notes. I want to ensure that you understand your diagnosis and the path forward. The most rewarding aspect of my work is the privilege of helping my patients during vulnerable moments. I understand the fear and uncertainty that can come with being a patient. I'm here to provide support and make immediate impacts through endoscopy procedures. I aim to ensure that your visit with me, whether in the clinic or during an endoscopic procedure, is comfortable, valued, and holistic.

I provide care as a specialist in OB/GYN problems as well as in normal pregnancies and preventive care for women of all ages. I am committed to helping women make informed decisions about the care that is best for them. I enjoy following a patient through her pregnancy, and meeting womens gynecological care needs through the course of her life. It is important to get to know the whole person, so I take time to talk with my patients about their lives their interests, family, and activitiesbefore we focus on any medical issues. One of the most rewarding things about my job is being able to help patients through challenging situations. This includes working with women to help them fully understand their health condition, the options available to them, and supporting them to find the treatment path that meets their individual preferences. I really appreciate hearing from a patient that I have made the process of seeking care and receiving treatment easier for them.
