My Passion

Lisa Weiss, MMSc, PA-C


As a dermatology Physician Assistant, my passion for caring for others and teaching my peers stems from a profound appreciation for the impact of skin health on individuals' overall well-being. In dermatology, we don't just address surface-level concerns; we delve into the complex interplay between skin health, self-esteem, and quality of life. Witnessing firsthand how skin conditions can affect people emotionally and socially fuels my commitment to providing compassionate care. Whether it's alleviating discomfort from chronic conditions like eczema or psoriasis or boosting confidence by treating acne or scars, I find immense fulfillment in helping patients feel comfortable and confident in their skin.


Moreover, teaching and sharing knowledge with my peers is integral to my professional ethos. Dermatology is a rapidly evolving field with new treatments, techniques, and research constantly emerging. By actively engaging in teaching and mentorship, I not only contribute to the growth and development of my colleagues but also foster a culture of collaboration and continuous learning within the healthcare community. Sharing best practices, discussing challenging cases, and exchanging insights not only elevates the standard of care we provide but also strengthens our collective ability to address the diverse needs of our patients.


Beyond the clinical aspect, being a dermatology PA is about empowerment. Through education and guidance, I aim to empower my patients to take control of their skin health and empower my peers to become proficient and compassionate caregivers. Ultimately, my passion lies in making a meaningful difference in the lives of others, whether it's through direct patient care or by nurturing the next generation of healthcare professionals who share the same dedication to excellence and empathy in dermatology.
