MAYWOOD, IL – Eugene Lee, MD, a family medicine physician, has joined Loyola Medicine and will see patients at Loyola Medicine Maywood – Roosevelt.
Family medicine doctors care for patients of all ages, from infants to seniors, and often care for several members of the same family. They manage the overall health of growing individuals of any age – not just a specific age group.
Dr. Lee will see patients at Loyola Medicine Maywood – Roosevelt, 1211 W. Roosevelt Road, Maywood, Illinois.
While Dr. Lee treats a wide range of patients, he has a special interest in the care of adolescent and LGBTQ patients.
"They are two of the most vulnerable populations in medicine," Dr. Lee said. "With adolescents, it’s a time of great change, so if we can tackle issues now, they can take those healthy habits with them into adulthood. With LGBTQ patients, they can often feel stigmatized and can be reluctant to seek care."
Dr. Lee is an assistant professor in the department of family medicine at the Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine. He is board certified in family medicine.
Dr. Lee earned his medical degree from Boston University School of Medicine. He completed a residency and fellowship in family medicine at the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics in Madison, Wisconsin.
