Dr. Lisa Kaufman’s interest in medicine began at a young age after shadowing medical professionals at her local hospital. This experience gave her a bird’s eye view into the work of a physician and sparked a desire to pursue an occupation in which she would not only help people, but also be able to develop long-term and meaningful relationships with her patients.
Dr. Kaufman received her master’s degree in physiology and went on to receive her medical doctorate from Georgetown University School of Medicine in 1986. She then pursued an internship in internal medicine and completed her residency at the George Washington University Hospital in Washington, D.C. In 1990, Dr. Kaufman became board-certified through the American Board of Internal Medicine and has been recognized for her work by Washington Magazine as a Top Doctor on ten different occasions.
After completing her residency, Dr. Kaufman worked as a Team Physician at the George Washington University Health Plan for two years and in 1991 joined Washington Internal Medicine Associates which later became Drs. Kaufman, Greenlee, Wheaton, and Beaton, P.C. Dr. Kaufman has continued to be involved in teaching and mentoring third- and fourth- year medical students from George Washington University during their primary care rotation and has held an Associate Clinical Professor voluntary faculty position since 1991 at George Washington University. Her 30 plus years as a physician specializing in internal medicine coupled with her passion for preventing illness and underlaying health concerns has yielded an interest in promoting wellness and lifestyle medicine to improve her patients’ overall wellbeing.
