John Ganser, DO

I can’t think of a job any more meaningful than one that allows you to be there to support people who have been diagnosed with cancer and help as they navigate such a difficult time in life. To me, a strong patient-provider relationship is so essential. It’s also incredibly important for patients to be active participants in their care and I encourage this by keeping them educated and updated with as much information as possible. The best way to approach the treatment process is by feeling confident about the plan.

Family care is the perfect setting as it allows me to treat patients of all ages and conditions. As a nurse practitioner, I have many different areas of interest. These range from obstetric, pediatric and newborn care to women’s health, sports medicine and orthopedic issues. I’d describe myself as approachable, direct and down to earth. My aim is to provide patient-centered care that is fostered by continual learning. This is achieved through open, honest relationships with a mutual goal to improve your health.

A person’s health can shift at any time, and I understand the unpredictable nature of illness and disease as well as the fear and uncertainty it can cause. My goal is to be a good listener in all stages of care and encourage an open dialogue. By taking this approach and offering guidance and reassurance along the way, I hope to help families make informed decisions about any treatment needs. In this job, it is inspiring to see the power of the human spirit and the will within people to overcome life’s challenges. I consider each day a new opportunity to do more for my patients and the surrounding community.
