Catherine Krouse, MD

"Dr. Catherine M. Krouse is a board certified family physician. She was born and raised in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and then headed to Philadelphia for college and medical school. At Temple University she received her Bachelor’s degree in World Religion. She received her medical degree from Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. At this point she needed a break from city life and was drawn to Maine for family medicine residency, graduating in June 2014. Her experience studying both the humanities as well as medical science helped to shape her perspective of medicine and her practice. Every person is unique in their experience and thus requires a unique path to health and healing. Dr. Krouse is committed to providing the tools and support that allow patients to heal on many levels. In addition, yoga is an important part in Dr. Krouse’s life and medical practice. She has received her 200 hour yoga teacher certification through Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy. Her classes are a mix of guided meditation, Hatha (holding postures), and Vinyasa (flowing through postures) with the intention to create space in order to listen to the wisdom all of our bodies possess."

"Lotus Family Practice is a direct primary care practice. This means having a doctor who has the time to get to know you. It means belonging to a practice that focuses on keeping you healthy, and provides the tools and support to back that up. This means getting the care you need without any red tape or hoops to jump through. FEWER PATIENTS = MORE TIME WITH YOU We limit the number of patients in our practice to around 600 patients per doctor, significantly less than the conventional practice typically over 2000. This means relaxed office visits with enough time to address all of your needs, same day appointments, and a doctor who is easily accessible through phone or email. INSURANCE FREE = HASSLE FREE We don’t accept insurance. But don’t let that scare you. It can actually save you money. Becoming a member can help you avoid high insurance premiums, if all you really need is catastrophic coverage. We also offer drastically discounted generic medications and lab work."
