The "Whos Who" of Camas Family Doctor
|
|
|
Karl Kuzis MD, PhD calls himself an over trained generalist. He earned his Medical Doctorate at Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland as he completed his research degree in the Neurosciences. His study of how the nervous system protects it's self from injury and reacts during healing gives him a unique perspective as a Family Physician. During his residency in Delaware, he focused on Women's health care so he would be prepared to offer the full range of Family Medicine services including pregnancy care and hospital delivery. Patterning his business model after his own childhood Family Physician, he has a specific interest in preventing disease through healthy habits and behavior change. A true small town Family Doc he provides medical care with a community focus and wants to see all his friends and neighbors live happy, healthy, honorable and successful lives.
Blessed with a wide variety of experiences prior to starting his medical career, he knows the value of hard work and the importance of fun. An active athlete who has swam, rowed, surfed, dived, sailed, run, biked, climbed, hiked, hunted and fished he loves to encourage his patients to re-build their habits so they can get the most from life now and into their future.
