Dr. Carlos M. Rish

Dr. Rish says:

“I chose the medical field because I wanted to see a person as a whole, considering them psychologically, biologically, and socially, to help them live life to the fullest. It’s a very rewarding feeling day in and day out.”

Activities I enjoy: I love spending time with my family and my dogs. I also enjoy exercising, reading books, being in nature, hiking, swimming, and traveling.
