Physician

Dr. Adnan Nazir

General Practitioner

Taha Medical Center

Dr. Adnan Nazir specializes in general practice and internal medicine at Taha Medical Center in Milwaukee.

As an independent hospitalist practicing at Aurora St. Luke’s Medical Center, Nazir has become an important part of the team caring for the long-term ventilator patients and other acutely ill patients at the hospital.

Nazir is committed to finding ways to improve patient outcomes.

When Nazir discovered that his readmission rates for patients managing COPD were higher than the goal set by Aurora St. Luke’s, he took it upon himself to work with the hospital nursing staff to develop and implement a standard pathway that he follows to help patients transition back to the community successfully after being discharged from the hospital. His work has led to a decreased length of stay and lower readmission rate for this target patient population.

Not only is Nazir known for his dedication to improving care quality, but he is also frequently recognized by his patients and hospital staff for providing an outstanding level of bedside manner.

Nazir ensures that every patient and his or her support people understand the individual’s care plans and have all their questions answered before they are discharged and leave the hospital. On more than one occasion, patients have said they felt Nazir treated them as if they were his only patient by giving them his undivided attention during their time of crisis. He never makes patients feel as though he needs to rush out of the room to care for the next person.
