========================= END NOTE =========================
As President of the Medical Association of Georgia, Dr. Reisman will
serve his fellow physicians, patients, and the state of Georgia by
working to enhance patient care and the health of the public by
advancing the art and science of medicine and by representing
physicians and patients in the policy making process.
Upon being sworn in for his one-year term as president, Dr. Reisman
remarked he plans to focus on tort reform, surprise medical bills, the
``data entry crisis'' and scope of practice, ultimately working to
ensure Georgians have access to the care they need.
As a family physician with the Longstreet Clinic in Oakwood, Georgia,
Dr. Reisman has served our community since 1996. He is the third-ever
doctor from Hall County to serve as President of the Medical
Association of Georgia.
Dr. Reisman previously served as Secretary for the Medical
Association of Georgia. He is also a member of the Georgia Composite
Medical Board, the Hall County Medical Society, the American Medical
Association, and the Georgia Academy of Family Physicians.
Dr. Reisman has a medical degree from the University of Miami and
completed his residency at the University of Maryland.
Dr. Reisman has dedicated his career to bettering the lives of his
patients and bettering the greater medical community as a whole. On
behalf of the people of Northeast Georgia, I want to commend my good
friend for his remarkable work and congratulate him on being sworn in
as President of the Medical Association of Georgia.
