Dr. Andrew Pasternak is a board certified family physician with an interest in sports medicine. While an avid fan of teams around Detroit while growing up, physical fitness was not foremost on his mind. Dr. Pasternak began to realize that he needed to get into shape after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament in medical school. In his first 5 K, he had to walk most of the last mile just to finish. Later, along with his wife, he finished dead last in the Wisconsin State Games winter quadrathelon (but we finished). Since moving to Reno, he has become more serious about exercise and has now finished the Death Ride, is an avid xc skier, and has run the Boston Marathon with his wife. By incorporating exercise into his regular lifestyle, he has come to personally realize both the physical and mental benefits exercise can provide.
