“I enjoy both the straightforward and the complex aspects of internal medicine, because this is a specialty that offers the full continuum of care throughout adulthood,” says Dr. Hyzer. “It is rewarding, also, to see the results of positive reinforcement when helping patients make lifestyle changes that will improve their cardiac health and quality of life.”

Access to Care

He and his wife reside in Madison and have two adult children. Dr. Hyzer is board certified in internal medicine and joined Associated Physicians in 1979.

 

“My outlook and goals meld together with the commitment of Associated Physicians to deliver the best access to health care for the patient, not for a health care ‘system,'” he says. “Our independent medical group is rare and becoming more so as time goes by. Yet the most important factor in medical care is the patient’s access to that care.”
