Taking Time to Build Trust

Lisa Hladik, M.D., internal medicine physician at the Mills-Peninsula Division, loves being a primary care doctor because she can take time to build trusting relationships with her patients over years. “Everyone has their own values, their politics, cultural background and views on health care,” she says. “So I have to personalize everything I do.”

Her goal is to help her patients maintain good health so they will be able to do whatever they enjoy in life. She shares her views in this video, which is part of a series highlighting the diverse voices of PAMF physicians.
