Caitlin MacMillen, DO, MPH, is a board-certified family medicine physician dedicated to providing full-spectrum primary care to adults and children, with a special interest in women's health and integrative medicine. As an osteopath, she has a whole-body approach to medicine and is experienced in osteopathic manipulative treatment, a type of hands-on care that diagnoses and treats illness and injury by moving a person's muscles and joints to ease pain and increase mobility.

Her experiences abroad, including participation in a pediatric oral health and nutrition project in the rural communities of El Salvador and Ecuador, inspired her to pursue a medical school that also offered her the chance to get a master's degree in public health.
