Get to know Family Physician Dr. Lisa Masson, who serves patients in Los Angeles, California.
A triple board certified family physician, Dr. Masson is the Associate Medical Director of Ambulatory Clinical Informatics at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
Alongside her clinical role, she holds a position as a Professor of Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.
Graduating in 1985 from the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California, Dr. Masson initially pursued a two-year general surgery residency before redirecting her focus to primary care.

Since 2011, Dr. Masson has returned to her native Los Angeles as a clinical informaticist at Cedars-Sinai.
