RFD's Mentor of the Month
March 2019
Dr. Dell Schweitzer, DPM
Reason selected:
As it turns out, my father has been subtly and not so subtly mentoring me my whole life. He modeled the attention to detail and compassion that is required to practice medicine well for the better part of 3 decades. He served his country as a Vietnam era corpsman, taught me to care for others (animals and people) and introduced me to my passion of fly fishing.
