Emma Fenske, DO
Addiction Medicine
Board Certified
Care Philosophy
I believe in providing compassionate, evidence-based care that treats the whole person. I strive to create a psychologically safe and non-judgemental environment where patients, learners, and colleagues feel heard and supported in making decisions. My approach emphasizes shared decision-making, harm reduction, and meeting patients where they are while helping them work toward their goals.
Clinical Interest for Patients
My clinical interests include addiction medicine and hospital medicine, with a focus on narrative medicine/medical humanities, substance use disorders, medications for addiction treatment, withdrawal management, harm reduction, and the care of patients with co-occurring medical and substance use conditions.
