Lisa

Lisa has been part of Dr. Karam’s team for more than 20 years. She is a “Jack of all trades” around the office and can assist you with any office matters. Her passion is helping individuals reach their optimal health potential by focusing on healthy lifestyle choices and disease prevention education. For those with chronic health problems, achieving the best possible quality of life is the ultimate goal. Lisa believes that high-quality healthcare must take into consideration an individual’s physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. Dr. Karam and his office staff are dedicated to working together with every patient to achieve his or her maximal potential.

Lisa’s educational background includes a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Roosevelt University and an Associate in Applied Science in Medical Assisting from William Rainey Harper College. She subsequently earned her Certification in Medical Assisting (CMA through AAMA).

Her interests outside the office include bicycling, kayaking, playing pickleball, outdoor travel adventures, honing her culinary skills and enjoying live music outdoors.

Michelle

Michelle joined our team in 2020. Over the past 30 years, she has worked as a receptionist, medical secretary and transcriptionist in a variety of medical settings. Her goal has always been to assist each patient, on the phone or in person, with respect and compassion, and to help provide a positive experience.

When not at the office, she likes to read, float in her pool, walk and treasure hunt at antique and secondhand stores. She enjoys spending time at the family lake house with her husband and two sons boating and being outside in nature. She has a love for dogs, especially her Labrador Yuna and German Shorthair Pointer rescue Lucky.

In the future, her hope is to travel back to Sicily and spend time with family and learn more about her ancestry.
