Ellie Fischer, PA-C

I am a Team Care Provider (TCP) and help cover appointments, online messages and calls as an extension of your care team. I work with Mariah Eggebraaten, MD, Harriet Enubuzor, MD, Oxana Haflund, MBChB, Stephanie Larson, DO, and Alina Wick, MD, and am able to help when your primary care provider does not have availability. While patients are unable to establish regular care with me, I diagnose, treat and manage various health conditions, order diagnostic tests, prescribe medications and provide patient education and counseling, keeping your provider informed along the way. ​

Practice philosophy: I believe in truly listening to my patients - hearing their stories, understanding their concerns, and working alongside them as an advocate for their best care. I strive to create a patient-centered environment rooted in empathy and respect, where each individual feels heard, supported, and empowered to take an active role in their health.

What are you passionate about and why? I am passionate about empowering patients with the knowledge and support they need to make informed decisions about their health. I value building long-term relationships because I have seen the positive impact they have on patient care and overall well-being.

If you weren't a health care provider, what would you be? A teacher.

Why did you become a provider? When did you know this was the career for you? Helping others has always been part of who I am, and after experiencing the care of a PA for many years, I was inspired to follow this path in healthcare.

What is something you have learned from your patients? I have learned that taking an active role in your health and maintaining a positive outlook can make a meaningful, lasting impact.

What is one of the challenges of this career you enjoy? And why? I enjoy the variety this career brings and see each patient as a unique puzzle. It is rewarding to find the best approach to meet each patients individual needs.

What is your personal health goal? Stay active, eat healthy and get quality sleep.

What is the best thing you've done for your health or the best health advice you've received? Staying active and drinking plenty of water daily has been the best thing I’ve done for my physical and mental health.
