Evan Los, MD

Principal Investigator

Evan Los, MD, was inspired to pursue pediatric endocrinology by his own doctor who play a pivotal role in managing his diabetes. 

 

"I enjoy transforming something negative into something positive" says Dr. Los. "My goal is for patients to leave the office feeling better than when they came in. While medicine can help, it's often care and kindness that makes the biggest difference." 

 

Originally from Missouri and raised in Oregon, Dr. Los and his family have come to love the Appalachian Highlands since relocating in 2016. As an ETSU Health clinician, Dr. Los also serves as a faculty member at ETSU's Quillen College of Medicine. He enjoys receiving artwork from his patients and proudly displays it in his office.
