About Dr. Stuart L. Saftchick
As a general internist and primary care physician, I emphasize a comprehensive approach to each patient, viewing illness in relation to the entire body rather than focusing solely on one organ system, as specialists often do. If there is something going on in your body that I am not sure about, I know the right people who can take care of the problem and will refer you accordingly. I earned my medical degree from Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara Facultad de Medicina in Guadalajara and completed my residency at Elmhurst Hospital Center.
