Austin Lonski, DO

My path to medicine was inspired by my parents and grandparents, who always encouraged me to pursue my dreams. As I grew up, I witnessed the positive impact physicians had on my grandmother's life and saw how much it meant to her that I was considering a career in medicine. That reinforced my desire to become a physician and serve others through healthcare. I am a lifelong Kent County Delawarean. The opportunity to practice medicine here and help my community members live healthier lives and reach their personal health goals is a dream come true.
I am passionate about preventive medicine and helping patients take proactive steps to improve their health. A simple screening or early intervention can make a lasting difference in a person's life, which is one reason primary care is so fulfilling to me. My clinical interests include chronic care management, pediatrics and sports medicine. I enjoy partnering with patients to prevent illness and manage long-term conditions and I love to …share in their pride as they make progress toward their wellness goals.
Outside of medicine, I love spending time with my wife, Kass, and our family of three with our dog, Hops. I am a dedicated Pittsburgh Steelers fan and enjoy being outdoors as much as possible.
As a primary care physician, I understand the responsibility and privilege that comes with caring for patients and their families. I believe empathy, compassion, availability, preparedness, self-reflection and a genuine desire to understand each person’s unique needs are essential to providing outstanding care. Every day, I work to strengthen those qualities so I can better serve my patients and help them achieve the best possible health experiences and outcomes.
