About Emma Schanzenbach
Philosophy of care
I believe everyone deserves an equitable chance to be the healthiest version of themselves. In the office, I focus on whole-person care with an individual twist to every visit. I work with my patients to help them achieve the best health outcomes possible that align most closely with their goals.Why I entered medicine
I entered medicine to ensure everyone can access affordable and comprehensive health care.Community involvement
I help serve the health needs identified by my community. I am a generalist at heart so, although I have a special interest in mental health, addiction medicine and LGBTQIA+ care, I am willing to prioritize the needs most important to those I serve.Personal interests
I adopt cats with disabilities and special needs health problems, and then care for them when I'm not at work! I also love to read and hope to one day write a novel of my own. For exercise, you can often find me kickboxing or practicing jiujitsu.Education
