With a surgical subspecialist father, Dr George Seifert grew up with medicine his whole life. He was always drawn to healthcare as a result and thought he would likely follow the same specialty path as his father. However, after being exposed to primary care, he was drawn to the varied challenges it poses and the continuity with patients that if offers. So he became a family physician and has enjoyed it ever since. Honesty, hard work and community service are values Dr Seifert was taught from his parents and grandparents at an early age. They have been strongly held tenants in his life ever since.
