Liza Phu, MD
My specialties:
- Family medicine
Professional interests:
- Gynecology
- Women's Health
- Procedures
I am a board-certified family medicine physician. I have professional interests in gynecology, women's health and procedures.
I’m passionate about: my family and traveling. They both enrich my life and make me a better person and physician.
Most people don’t know that: I used to play tenor saxophone in a jazz band.
My heroes are: my parents. As I grow older and learn to raise my own family, I realize the sacrifices they made to help me become the person I am today.
My personal health goal is: trying to stay active and healthy while working full-time and raising a toddler.
One of the challenges of my career that I enjoy is: meeting people of all ages and different walks of life, and learning how to best individualize care for each patient. I learn something new from my patients every day.
The best thing I have done for my health is: buying mostly natural or organic foods when I can. Having my son has taught me the importance of knowing what’s in our food.
A few of my personal achievements include: being published in the Journal of Family Practice in 2009, “Best Medical Therapy for Early Parkinson’s;" camping almost every state park in Minnesota, white water rafting in Washington, snowboarding at Whistler Mountain, biking in Virginia, hiking in Guatemala, soaking in the hot springs of Japan petting a kangaroo in Australia and road-tripping in Spain.
