Meet Dr. LissaI am a board-certified family physician and mother of 9 and 11 year old boys. My husband, Ned Hammar, and I fell in love during our family medicine training in Seattle. We moved to Omak, a small town in North Central Washington roughly the size of Forks. We practiced there for 5 years and both our boys were born there. We moved to Port Angeles in April 2015, and we love living in this community and working with our patients here! We continue to put down roots here and have no plans to leave this beautiful place.
My calling is to approach my patients as a partner and to learn not only the details of a person's health, but the bigger picture of their wellbeing too. Our health is absolutely impacted by what's going on with us physically, emotionally, spiritually, nutritionally, and economically. I do a better job as a doctor when I can listen to a person's whole story. What I intend to cultivate in my clinic is a new and truly patient- and family-centered experience. Together we will enjoy unhurried visits so we can address the whole situation, problem-solve, and stay in close communication throughout your care, both in times of wellness and illness. There are many ways to heal, and one size does not fit all! I partner with my patients to individualize care to your needs and situations. I do not judge anyone based on medical complexity, gender, age, sexual orientation/preferences, religious/spiritual beliefs, or political beliefs. This is big-picture care: I want help you achieve the best overall health possible. |
