Paul Reisser

Paul Reisser, MD practiced family medicine in Thousand Oaks for 44 years before retiring in 2022 to pursue a number of projects. He has been married to Teri for 50 years, and (as she notes in her bio) for the past two decades they have enjoyed talking about marriage to anyone who will listen. He and Teri co-founded and serve on the board of ThinSpace Africa, a nonprofit organization that supports ministries in Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Paul has also served on Focus on the Family’s Physicians Resource Council since 1990, and was the primary author of the Focus on the Family Complete Guide to Baby and Child Care. He is a film buff and movie format nerd. (In the early 1990s he saw a lot of weird stuff, and a few good films, as a reviewer for Movieguide.)
