About Dr. Renzi

Medicine is for everyone, says John T. Renzi, MD. “It is something that affects everyone at some point in their life and learning it can help so many people.”

Always fascinated by medicine, he knew it was the career for him. In his family medicine residency, he specialized in hospital medicine. “I fell in love with the hospital and seeing patients improve in a matter of days,” Dr. Renzi says.

He earned his Bachelor of Science in Biology and a Minor in Philosophy from Le Moyne College, Syracuse, NY. His Doctor of Medicine degree was earned at Saint James School of Medicine, Anguilla Campus in the Caribbean. His Family Medicine Residency was completed at Southern Illinois University, Quincy, IL.

“I think practicing medicine is an art and treating every patient is different,” he explains about his approach to providing care. “Getting to know patients and gaining their trust and making them feel comfortable is just as important as understanding what is going on with them.”

When they leave his care and the hospital, Dr. Renzi hopes patients have learned how to treat themselves and to understand what is going on with them.

“Patients have taught me many things over the years but mainly that every patient is different and the way to go about treating them may also be different,” he says.

In his own words…

Who is or was the most influential people/role models in your life?My grandfather would be one of the most influential people in my life. He started a business from the ground up that crossed to almost 3 generations and then he also survived two different stage 4 cancers.  

What was your first job growing up? What do you remember about it? My first job as a kid was bussing tables and a dishwasher at a local restaurant.

What is your favorite food? Movie? Favorite foods: I love any food that is spicy, but specifically I love sushi.

What was your best/worst subjects in school growing up? Best subject in high school was science and my worst was definitely history.

If you could sit down to dinner with anyone (alive or deceased) who would it be and why? I would choose Jesus, because I would have a lot of questions for him.

In addition to medicine, what are you passionate about? I love to travel whether it be skiing down a mountain, lying on the beach or scuba diving in the middle of the ocean.

What is something most people don’t know about you? I can speak Spanish, I am scuba certified and can do the Rubik’s cube.
