Dr. Robin Kindig

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.

Married with 2 young sons, Dr. Kindig strives to become a great business owner herself, while supporting her husband in his own entrepreneurial endeavors as owner of Goose Creek Cycles in LaGrange and Louisville.

Dr. Kindig says - We hope to help other families like ours save money in a world of soaring deductibles and unexplained cost. Propelled by my own experience with a broken health care system, I hope to help lead others on this path.
