Education and Training
I earned my Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine in Erie, PA. I completed my family medicine residency at United Memorial Medical Center in Batavia. NY.

Philosophy
The medical field can feel like a second language. I aim to translate this information so every patient can understand their health, empowering them to make the best medical decisions for themselves. I look forward to being an advocate for my patients while helping them achieve their health goals. I believe in treating the whole person, not just their symptoms.

Special Interests
My special interested include treating patients of all ages, relieving muscle pain, and improving mobility.

Personal Interests
Outside of work, I enjoy cheering on the Buffalo Bills and Rochester Red Wings with my family. I also enjoy attending local festivals,

This was my first visit with her. She was wonderful. I had alot to go over for an upcoming procedure and she very efficiently took care of what I needed. She listened and took time getting to know my health. I left feeling relieved and grateful to have found a new primary care physician that I could feel good and confident about.

I don't know his name... When facing the front window/ check in ... There were 4 people off to the left as check out people. There was one man and him and I seemed to fit together beautifully. He is a real charm. I found him to be a delightful addition to your office. Also, I just loved Dr. Kathleen Austin. A beautiful and caring doctor. [...].

Dr. Austin is the single best provider I have ever experienced both as a patient and a professional. Concerns I have wanted addressed for years she immediately took charge of and got me on track to a better me. I refer everyone I know to her. I have never felt so heard and respected. She listens to her patients and takes action while also giving her professional opinion and giving the patient options. I will never switch providers again and would follow her anywhere!
