About
Dr. Aimée Wattiaux, MD MPH, is a board-certified family medicine physician with deep roots in Madison, Wisconsin. She completed her undergraduate degree at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, then returned to the University of Wisconsin to earn her medical degree, a Master of Public Health, and her family medicine residency training. Her residency clinic, Wingra Family Medical Center, served a socioeconomically diverse patient population. There she became certified in medical Spanish, a skill she continues to use in practice.
Before medical school, Dr. Wattiaux worked as a nursing assistant at a long-term acute care facility. That experience gave her early insight into the psychosocial dimensions of complex medical care. She brings a strong public health lens to primary care and cares deeply about health equity and marginalized communities. She has a particular focus on uprooting weight bias in healthcare, providing size-inclusive care by centering patient values over weight-focused metrics.
