Thomas Loepfe, M.D.

My approach to the patient is based on quality time with the patient and the family, using mindful listening and trying to understand the whole picture, including the goals of care.

My interests outside of medicine include family time, hiking with my dog, gardening, reading, cooking and meditation, in addition to spending time “up at the lake.”
