Nicholas Rizzo
About
For as long as he can remember, Nicholas Rizzo, MD, wanted to be a doctor. “I enjoy the challenges of putting things together from all aspects that Internal Medicine presents,” he says.
Dr. Rizzo earned his Doctor of Medicine degree at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, IL. His residency was completed at the Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI.
He has worked in internal medicine and as a hospitalist throughout his career. He has also served as a guest lecturer at Kendall College, Chicago, and as instructor of clinical medicine at his alma mater, Northwestern University.
His philosophy is to listen to the patient first. “Medical treatments have to be taken in the context of the patient, and in return patients have taught me things in nearly all aspects of life,” Dr. Rizzo says.
He works to include practical aspects of medicine and care delivery and in the decisions he makes. “I hope patients know there are still some doctors out there that will give them the time and attention they need to make a difference in their care,” he says.
In his own words…
