Meet Dr. Michael DiGiovanni.
Why did you choose this profession?
I chose to practice family medicine because I knew from a young age that I had always wanted to help a community to better their health, regardless of age. I received a lot of inspiration from my family doctor as a child, who dedicated his life to medicine, which was admirable. I also draw a lot of inspiration from my father who worked as chief administrative officer for the town that I grew up in, Kingsville, Ontario, as he dedicated his life work to bettering his community. Having these strong role models shaped my work ethic and dedication to community and is ultimately what helped me decide to become a family physician.
Why did you choose to practice here in Lapeer?
I chose to practice in Lapeer because this is where my family and I decided to settle down and live. My children go to school in Lapeer and being a part of this community was important to me.
Why did you choose to practice with McLaren?
I chose to practice with McLaren because I knew that I wanted to be part of a medical group that prides themselves on quality and comprehensive care for their patients. It had always been an important goal of mine to strive to provide the best care possible for my patients and community and McLaren gives me this opportunity.
What do you hope to accomplish with your practice?
I would like to build a large practice in Lapeer consisting of patients of all ages, genders and ethnicities. It is important to me to be available to care for any individual, regardless of their social background. I would like to better the health of the people of this community and hopefully be a role model myself one day to someone to take care of future generations.
What are your areas of interest?
My areas of interest in medicine are preventative care, diabetes, behavioral health, weight management, and cardiovascular health.
How does it feel to be practicing in Lapeer?
It feels great to be practicing in Lapeer because I am able to work so close to home and spend more time building my family. It gives me happiness knowing that I am able to provide care for the community that my family and I live in which gives me the opportunity to give back.
