“When you uncover something before
it becomes serious and get it handled,
that’s my thrill.”
When he was still in medical school,
Marshfield native Bart Isaacson took
advantage of his summer breaks to
shadow Marshfield Clinic Health System
internists. “I really respected what they
did,” Dr. Isaacson said. “So, as I continued
my education, I decided that was the
career I wanted – to be a specialist in
providing primary care for adults.”
As an internist, Dr. Isaacson treats
patients as illnesses and injuries occur,
but he prefers managing issues before
they become severe. “Prevention and
early detection and treatment are
important,” he said. “Helping a patient
identify and modify risk factors reduces
problems down the road.”
Dr. Isaacson completed medical school
at the Medical College of Wisconsin in
Milwaukee and a residency in internal medicine at Ohio State University Medical Center in Columbus, Ohio. He is board-certified in internal medicine.
Dr. Isaacson has been in practice since 1998. He had recently moved to the Weston area just before Marshfield Clinic Weston Center opened and became an inaugural member of the staff. He, his wife and four sons live along the Eau Claire River where they enjoy hiking, swimming and other outdoor activities. His wife runs Johanna May’s Fine Teas, a local tea house.
