John Schirger, M.D.

It is my goal to ensure that each of my patients feels treated as an individual and is able to appreciate my care for them as a person. It is also very important to me that I am able to convey to my patient an understanding of the condition they have come to seek help with, and our shared plan moving forward.

I have a strong background in research in heart failure. I have been a director for research within an internal medicine residency program as well as the associate director of that program.

I am a native of the Midwest and enjoy beautiful scenery while hiking, canoeing and doing other outdoor activities. I love to read literature, follow hockey and spend time with my family.
