Emily Nayda, M.D.
Primary Care, Internal Medicine
Why did you decide to go into medicine?
My brother was in a terrible car accident when I was 5 years old. Our family spent the next 10 years in and out of the hospital for his surgeries, medical treatment, and multiple rehabilitation programs. Throughout this very difficult time, we were supported by the most kind, amazing, and dedicated medical professionals and staff. I don't know how our family would have gotten through all that without them! This is what led to me wanting to become a doctor - I wanted to help and treat patients medically, and to also be there for them and their families with support and compassion, just as was done for my family.
