Lisa Khalil’s Story

Lisa was raised in a small town outside Chicago called South Elgin and moved to Mesa in 1992.

At age nine, Lisa wanted to be a doctor, but switched majors to nursing because she wanted to be the one taking care of people all day. She’s never lost the desire for further education and to practice medicine. So Lisa decided to become a nurse practitioner to help and take care of people.

“The most rewarding part of practicing medicine is experiencing people getting better, and developing a bond with patients in order to have a positive impact on their health and lives.”

Placing an emphasis on preventative care is important to Lisa. She believes the best way to solve a problem is to prevent it from occurring.

“Every day that I get to see patients is a success. I learn from my patients every day, which is a success, and I strive for them to leave the office doing better than before they came in. I also define success as building a trusting and caring provider/patient relationship.”

Helping patients feel like they are her friends is what Lisa does at every office visit. She is not here to judge or place labels, she’s here to treat people that choose to place themselves in her care.

Outside the office, Lisa places a high priority on her relationship with God and her family. Her family, including her parents, grandmother, and three brothers, live in Arizona. Lisa also values her friends just as she does her family.
