Family Medicine – Why It’s A Great Choice For Your Primary Care Needs
Featuring:
Chad Braun, MD

Chad Braun, MD, is Board Certified in Family Medicine and serves as the Program Director for the Eisenhower Health Family Medicine Residency Program. Along with seeing patients, Dr. Braun has always been a medical educator and part of a faculty teaching young physicians. He is part of our Center for Family Medicine, educating residents in various aspects of primary care. “Growing up in a small town in Ohio, I was always interested in science and was inspired by my family’s primary care physician,” states Dr. Braun. “I saw someone who helped others and made an impact for the better. I also come from a family of educators, so when I was attending medical school I quickly saw how a career in medical education was a natural fit for me.”
Family medicine interests Dr. Braun because, “I get to do a little bit of everything and I like the diversity of issues I get to deal with from patient-to-patient.” Dr. Braun sees his relationships with patients as a partnership and helps his patients become informed, involved and self-directed in their health care. “I want to understand my patients’ goals, what is important to them, and I want them to feel heard and satisfied with their health plan.”
