Andrew Leung, DO
Sports Medicine Physician, ThedaCare Orthopedic Care
“I believe that physical movement is essential to well-being, and I work with patients at all levels of activity. I listen carefully, ask meaningful questions, and perform thorough physical exams of my patients to fully understand their musculoskeletal issues.”
Brian Lohrbach, MD
Orthopedic Surgeon, ThedaCare Orthopedic Care
“I strive to treat all of my patients like family members. When I walk in the room, I sit down, and I hear their story. Oftentimes, you can come up with a diagnosis simply by listening to the patient. I examine my patient. I take my time with them. I answer their questions. And ultimately, when we come together with a solution, it’s a team effort, both me and my patient, not me simply telling them what should be done.”
Jared McLister, PA-C
Physician Assistant, Orthopedic Surgery, ThedaCare Orthopedic Care
“I believe in a patient-centered approach to care, ensuring that patients fully understand their condition and treatment options while helping them work toward a pain-free life. My approach emphasizes clear communication and personalized care to support their recovery.”
John Mihailidis, MD
Endocrinologist, ThedaCare Physicians Endocrinology
“In an open and collaborative care environment, I specialize and educate patients in diabetes management. Together, we address and restore hormonal imbalances to manage chronic conditions. The most rewarding aspect is the ability to restore balance and improve my patients’ well-being. I can make a significant, tangible impact on their quality of life.”
Heather O’Brien, PharmD
Pharmacist, ThedaCare Regional Medical Center-Neenah
“My approach to care is centered on putting the patient first. I ensure that patients understand why they are prescribed medications, explain how they work, and address affordability.”
Hope Sievert, APRN
Nurse Practitioner, ThedaCare Physicians-Appleton at Gateway Drive
“My approach to care is holistic and focuses on health promotion and prevention. I recognize the various factors influencing overall patient well-being and the importance of connection to resources. Education is at the forefront, and I want to empower my patients by taking the time to explain their care plan. I believe education, at times, can be as powerful as medication.”
