About John Pauls, MD, PhD

As a physician, I treat all patients with respect, giving them the best quality care possible. A life-changing event for me was providing medical care to tsunami survivors in India. I subsequently have participated in medical mission trips to Peru and Nicaragua with my family. Outside of my work, I enjoy playing the violin at church, developing my interest in photography and spending time with family and friends.

Dr. Paul is good at what he does, he's very focused - No chit-chat allowed. He gets to the point of getting the information he needs. Dr. Paul updated my chart with what needed to be done. Overall, a very good visit.
