§ 04 · Dr. Cashio, MD MSThe physician behind the practice.
Dr. Cashio grew up in Texas and Southern California, the product of a Cajun family and a state that takes its football seriously. He went to UT Austin for his undergraduate degree, UT Houston and MD Anderson for graduate school in developmental biology and genetics, and UT Health Science Center at San Antonio for medical school. His residency was at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville.
Before medicine, he served in the United States Marine Corps as an Intelligence Analyst and lived in Okinawa, Japan for two years. That experience left a mark. The Marine Corps standard on discipline, accountability, and doing the hard thing correctly doesn't leave you, and it shows up in how Dr. Cashio practices medicine.
He brings a particular kind of directness to patient care. Not harsh. Direct. There's a difference. He'll tell you what your labs actually mean, what the risk actually is, and what you actually need to do about it. He won't waste your time with vague reassurance and he won't tell you what you want to hear if it's not what's true.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Cashio lifts. He is learning to play the guitar (finally). He's raising two boys. He plays first-person shooters, follows Japanese culture with genuine interest, and cares deeply about taking care of veterans.
