About

About the Provider

I was born with a congenital malformation of the spinal cord — that means I grew up as a patient. My specialists showed genuine concern for me and really took the time to educate my mother about my care plan. They inspired me to become a physician so I could help people successfully navigate their own complex care.

I spend half of my time caring for patients and the other half as a resident physician educator, training the next generation of clinicians. Teaching is core to my practice. My goal is to be thorough, devoting time to educate you about your health conditions and the best treatment options, and empowering you to make informed decisions.

I truly enjoy getting to know my patients and forming long-term relationships based on trust. Seeing a patient’s health improve after educating them and connecting them with the right guidance, treatments, and resources never gets old.

    I always have such a positive interaction with John Sisson, he takes the time to ask questions. Make sure there’s adequate follow through and that he is listening to what I am saying. He also makes me feel like my experiences are valued and what I’m going through is important.

    I have had Dr. Sisson as my PCP for several years now and have never regretted it. In fact, I am always concerned that he may leave which I have experienced in the past with other providers, PCP and sub specialist. He assures me that he is not planning on leaving which helps to lessen my anxiety.

    Dr Sisson's approach to my care as a patient has and continues to be an answer to prayer. Instead of simply managing symptoms or focusing just on health, John consistently shows a genuine interest in my overall wellbeing as a human long-term to the extent that Dr Sisson and his team personify the word "care" with an approach that is part friend, part confidant, always professional.
