Cerena Stinogel, DO

Hello! My name is Cerena Stinogel. I lived in many states growing up, but spent most of my childhood in Iowa, where I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Northern Iowa. The following year I moved to the Kansas City area and completed a Master’s in Business Administration and scribed in the Emergency Department. I then attended Liberty University, where I completed a Masters in Biomedical Sciences and taught undergraduate Anatomy and Physiology labs. The favorite parts of my story come next. I married my best friend, Brett, and a year later, we welcomed our son into the world.

Family Medicine is the perfect fit for my personality and skills. I enjoy seeing whole generations of families and building long-lasting relationships with my patients. My specific interests in Family Medicine are in women’s health, pediatrics, lifestyle medicine, osteopathic manipulative techniques, and chronic disease management.

I wanted to train at an unopposed residency that would equip me to practice full-scope Family Medicine. After my rotation with CoxHealth Family Medicine Residency, I knew it was the place I wanted to be. The faculty, residents, and staff functioned as a large family and I felt right at home. The welcome was warm and the education was of the highest quality. My husband and I are thrilled to be back in the Midwest, and I am excited to serve the patients in Springfield. In my free time, I’m usually spending time with my family, cooking, gardening, exercising, playing piano, or reading.
