Care Philosophy: Dr. Wasserman&#8217s dream to be a doctor started early in life. She remembers watching her father go through medical training as a young child and loved the idea of spending each day helping people. With a father who was a doctor and a mother who was a nurse, she attributes both with having a strong and lasting impact on her life&#8217s path. &#8220They both built their lives around helping people,&#8221 noted Wasserman. &#8220They ended up instilling that same need to serve in all of their children.&#8221&#160When her younger sister was diagnosed with Crohn&#8217s disease while Dr. Wasserman was in college, gastroenterology became a personal focus. Not only did it include her interest in nutrition, but it also presented her with a specialty that would allow her to interact with patients in both an office setting and while performing procedures.&#160In her free time, Wasserman enjoys spending time with her husband and two young sons. They love relaxing at the lake and traveling around the beautiful state of Michigan.Being a gastroenterologist is not just a job for me &#173&#8211 it is a passion.
