Dr. Kristin Dean is a Family Practice Physician who received her undergraduate degree from the University of Florida in Nutritional Sciences. She continued her loyalty to the ‘Gator Nation’ and completed her medical school education at the University of Florida College of Medicine in 2010. Dr. Dean then moved to Los Angeles to complete her training in Family Medicine at Kaiser Permanente. Her career has most recently led her to Doctor on Demand where she is excited and proud to be working with patients from across the country, hoping to improve access to healthcare for everyone. She is licensed to practice medicine in over 25 states and is also Board Certified with the American Academy of Family Physicians.Dr. Dean’s goal is to treat each patient as a whole and not as an illness. Although medications can offer symptomatic relief and even disease resolution, there are many instances in which an illness needs to be addressed through behavior and lifestyle modifications as well. She is interested in details and strives to look for opportunities to prevent illness when reviewing a patient’s healthcare needs. Dr. Dean considers healthcare to be a team approach, with the patient being the captain of the healthcare team. Although she considers a healthy lifestyle to be the starting point for all healthcare plans, she uses medicine, empathy and education to continue to improve her patient’s health.
