  Paul Rodger Wallace

  MD

  Dr. Paul Roger Wallace grew interested in healthcare after sustaining an injury in high school. He loves getting to know his patients and helping them improve their health. “I like to build a relationship with my patients, so that they feel comfortable telling me about medical issues, fears, and concerns,” he says. If Dr. Wallace could change anything about healthcare today, he would allow physicians to spend more time with patients. “I chose to work with seniors because I saw firsthand the barriers that sometimes arise to them getting the care that they deserve,” he explains. In his free time, Dr. Wallace loves spending time with his wife, daughter, and two dogs. He also enjoys scuba diving and once held a world record for swimming.
