Dr. Mena Salib: My name is Mena Salib and I'm a Family Medicine physician at the Polyclinic Ballard location. My father was a, still is a, physician in Southern California. And he did ICU, he did Pulmonary and critical care. But I really saw that the front lines of medicine, that was really Primary Care side of it.
And that's what really drove me into it, being on the front lines and kind of doing that preventive medicine, really helping people stay healthy so that they kind of don't get these chronic illnesses, these chronic diseases. So I really think something that you should look for as a patient is to find a primary care physician who, number 1, will listen to you, and who, number 2, will incorporate you into their decision making.
