Robin Kindig, MD

"Dr. Robin Kindig is a Louisville native. Because everyone in Louisville asks, she graduated from Seneca High School as valedictorian in 1996. She went on to the University of the South to major in Chemistry, joining the Order of the Gownsmen in her first semester. She was inducted into the AOA as a senior, and served as director of the student and community volunteer EMS service (wrecking the ambulance only once). From the beautiful mountains of Tennessee, she ventured to the University of Kentucky College of Medicine. She moved home for her residency in internal medicine and pediatrics, eventually serving as chief resident. She won both research and teaching awards in her residency, and continues as a gratis faculty member at the University of Louisville Medical School. Dr. Kindig started with Baptist Health in 2009, as part of both urgent care and primary care. She moved to Paducah in 2012 to serve as medical director of an urgent care and ACO direct admission team. After a brief time in primary care in Crestwood, Dr.Kindig re-joined Baptist Health’s LaGrange location in 2016, serving in both outpatient medicine and the nursery. Dr. Kindig opened MedLou in March of 2019, in an effort to continue to provide excellent care with an ever-evolving health care environment. It is with her family's support that she is taking the step to help revolutionize the medical system in a way that is best for patients."

"Direct Primary Care (DPC) by MedLou takes the insurance companies and escalated insurance costs out of the physician patient relationship. It works to help the physician stop clicking boxes, and instead have time to spend with patients and run a practice the old fashioned and AFFORDABLE way. For less than the price of your monthly cell phone or cable bill, you can get high quality primary care that will help you live a happier, healthier life. Direct Primary Care by MedLou allows our physicians to practice medicine in a more relaxed manner for the reasons they went to medical school, namely taking care of patients. Other practice models only allow for 10-15 minute appointments. MedLou’s DPC model allows for 30-60 minute appts or longer if needed. In addition, this model affords more time for your primary care doctor to talk with specialists. MedLou offers benefits to both the patient and the physician. In an era where physician burn out is real, MedLou offers its physicians work life balance which in the long run benefits everyone."
