Dyllan Tiburzi, MD - Beacon Medical Group Cleveland Road
About Dr. Tiburzi For Dr. Dyllan Tiburzi, witnessing family members going through serious medical issues was the defining moment in his choice to become a physician. “I realized that I wanted to do everything in my power to help others who are dealing with health issues,” he explains. “I made the decision to be a family medicine physician – a sort of “jack of all trades” – so I could be there for families when they encounter acute health issues and aid in the prevention of chronic conditions.” As a family medicine physician, Dr. Tiburzi has the opportunity to treat a little bit of everything. “No two days are the same,” he says. “Family Medicine offers breadth and depth of experience, from birth to geriatrics and everything in between.” He chose to practice at Beacon, quite simply, because of the people. He completed his residency here and gained exposure to many different experiences. “The people who work within the Beacon Community have continually encouraged me, supported me and held me to a patient care standard that has inspired me to stay within the Beacon Health System.” When it comes to his philosophy for practicing medicine, Dr. Tiburzi believes in treating each patient as he would a family member. “It’s so important to acknowledge that there is more to the encounter, and more to the patient, than just illness,” he says. “Getting to know my patients and considering all the factors that may be involved in why that person is in the office is crucial to providing appropriate care.” Dr. Tiburzi also says that patience is critical, and it’s important to provide comprehensive, compassionate care. “My goal is to try to help them live their very best life and to try to prevent health issues from getting in the way of them doing what they want to do.” In his own words… Who is or was the most influential person/role model in your life? I would have to say that both of my parents together have been my most influential role models. Each of them has attributes that I admire and aspire to grow in myself as I continue to develop as a person and physician. What was your first job growing up? My first job growing up was working at Randy’s grocery store in Benld, Illinois. Something I remember most about it, along with the great people, was the music – hits from the 60’s through to current – and singing along with the intercom as I stocked shelves. What is your favorite food? Movie? What was your best subject in school? I would have to say that my favorite food is anything my wife makes (except for one thing that she and I both agree will not be made again). My favorite movie is Jaws, and my best subject in school growing up was either math or science. My worst subject was English. If you could sit down to dinner with anyone (alive or deceased) who would it be and why? I am going to cheat a little bit and say that I would like to sit down with both of my grandfathers, who have both sadly passed. They were always encouraging and pushing me along throughout my schooling, and I would treasure any additional time to sit and share with them how they have helped me become who I am today. In addition to medicine, what are you passionate about? What are your hobbies/interests? I am passionate about family time, fishing, and crafts with my wife. I also love to read almost anything (taking recommendations), grill and travel.
