Altru ER Physician, Dr. Pablo Lizardi, Named Physician of the Quarter

Altru is proud to recognize Dr. Pablo Lizardi, emergency room physician, as its Physician of the Quarter, honoring his exceptional commitment to patient care, compassion, and clinical excellence.

Dr. Lizardi has made a lasting impression on patients and families alike.

"Dr. Lizardi was amazing!" shared the parent of a recent patient. "He was so good with my son. He got down to his level and explained what was going to happen. Dr. Lizardi involved us parents in the treatment plan. He is a 10/10 doctor!"

This kind of feedback is not uncommon for Dr. Lizardi, who consistently goes above and beyond to ensure patients feel heard, respected, and cared for in what are often stressful and urgent situations.

“Emergency medicine demands not only clinical precision but also human connection,” said Dr. Josh Deere, Altru president. “Dr. Lizardi embodies both. His ability to communicate with empathy and make families feel supported is a powerful example of our mission in action.”

The Physician of the Quarter recipients are selected after reviewing survey results submitted by patients. Altru started this award in 2021 as a way to recognize outstanding care given by Altru providers.
