Dr. Auxter is a board-certified physician specializing in Family Medicine. He earned his medical degree at the Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine. He started off his medical career at the age of 16 by working at a hospital with his father, who was a surgeon. He assisted with nearly 2,000 surgeries before even starting his journey through medical school.
Dr. Auxter is in the National Osteopathic Mentor Hall of Fame for his work helping medical students from Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine in Stillwater.
As a physician, Dr. Auxter strongly believes in quality quantity. He always spends the necessary time with his patients to discuss their medical issues and concerns.
“I don’t want them to leave the clinic with a question,” he said. “I want all questions answered.”
Dr. Auxter has extended his compassionate care for others beyond the clinic, combining two of his passions – medicine and flying. Following 9/11, he became a search and rescue pilot for 20 years and a charter member of Homeland Security.
In his free time, Dr. Auxter says his two biggest hobbies are playing golf and flying. He says he sees a lot more fishing in his future during his time in Florida.
