Dr. Lisa DeAngelis
A typical grade school student in Brecksville, OH most-likely would select something other than a Merck manual for casual reading, however
Dr. Lisa DeAngelis was not a typical grade-schooler.
Intrigued by the effects of illness on the human body, it was clear from an early age that
she wanted to be a scientist or a doctor.
It was during
her first year of medical school at
The University of Toledo College of Medicine that women's health care caught
Dr. DeAngelis' attention.
The blend of surgery and preventative care, reinforced by an interest in the specific medical issues faced by women influenced
her decision to complete
her residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the
University of Connecticut.
The desire to be a woman to whom other women could go to for trusted care led Dr. DeAngelis to join Litchfield County OB/GYN in 2011, where she has since become a valued physician with Women's Health Connecticut.
The community hospital setting in Torrington, CT allows
Dr. Lisa DeAngelis to know most of
her prenatal patients by name.
"I really enjoy the continuity of care, getting to know patients personally and developing relationships with them," shared
Dr. DeAngelis when asked what
she loves most about being an Ob/Gyn.
"It's very rewarding when a woman lets you into
her life to help with a problem or guide
her through a pregnancy.
Delivering a healthy baby and solving a woman's health issue are the fulfilling results for
Dr. DeAngelis as well for
her patients.
For a young woman, that very first Ob/Gyn visit can be an overwhelming experience.
Lindsey Rodrigues, 20, shared with
Women's Health Connecticut how
she found
Dr. DeAngelis and all
her worries were put to rest.
"I was looking online for what to expect when going to the gynecologist for the first time.
I kept finding all these traumatic stories other women had posted and wasn't sure what to think.
Thankfully I found the Women's Health CT website and made an appointment with
Dr. DeAngelis.
Everyone I dealt with at the office was very nice and helpful and
Lisa is the best!"
"I loved that
Dr. DeAngelis is young, female doctor;
she made me feel totally comfortable.
...
Lindsey said she would definitely recommend
Dr. DeAngelis to her friends so they too can have a great doctor.

Litchfield County OB/GYN are currently accepting new patients and have two locations in Torrington, CT.
