John R. Stevens, MD

Description

"I feel health care is ideally a team effort between patient and provider. I value the importance of knowing a patient beyond the diagnoses in their medical chart in order to provide customized care for the individual. Each patient has their own narrative that shapes how they may best effectively engage in preventing and managing illness. I believe in the education and empowerment of patients and their ability to make their own decisions surrounding their health. My interests in medicine include underserved populations, pediatrics, chronic disease management, mental health, addiction medicine, and obstetrics. I am a board certified in Family Medicine and am a member of the American Academy of Family Physicians, the Washington Academy of Family Physicians and the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine."
