About Kathleen A Abenes

About the Provider

I chose family medicine for the opportunities to develop long-term relationships with my patients and to take care of whole families. As an LGBTQIA+ safe and affirming family medicine provider, I treat patients of all genders, ages, and walks of life.

In my practice, I try to take a holistic approach to my patients’ care, knowing that what’s going on in their home life can have an impact on their health. I have broad expertise and experience treating most common health issues. I’m particularly  interested in preventive medicine and mental health.

I believe in patient autonomy and meeting patients where they are. I’ll make recommendations, but decisions are made together.

LGBTQIA+ Safe & Affirming

To earn the "Safe and Affirming" designation, providers individually complete an online training program which includes modules developed by the National LGBTQIA+ Health Education Center. For more information, click here.
