Peter Cashio, MD

"I was born in Baton Rouge, LA but quickly moved to Houston when I was six. Shortly after graduating high school, I enlisted in the US Marine Corps as an Intelligence Analyst and was stationed in Virginia Beach, VA, Okinawa, Japan, and Camp Pendleton, CA. 

Following the Marine Corps, I went on to complete my undergraduate degree in Biology at the University of Texas at Austin, a Master of Science in Developmental Biology at MD Anderson Cancer Center/UT Houston, and medical school at UT Health Science Center San Antonio. Residency training in Emergency Medicine and Board Certification (American Board of Emergency Medicine) followed.

(I like to tell my boys that I "Graduated from the 27th grade" whenever they complain about school)

My professional interests include preventative care, men's health, pain management, and critical care. Our family lives in Dripping Springs  and when not in the office you can find me powerlifting, learning to fly, shooting guns and writing."

"As the old medical school saying goes, 'Listen long enough and the patient will describe their diagnosis.'

My practice is collaborative. You and I are a team working together for YOUR best health.

What does that mean?

Sometimes prescription medicine isn't always the best, first answer.

Lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, cognitive behavioral therapy) can often eliminate the need for a drug regimen.

If, however, this isn't possible or successful, then you and I develop your best care plan."

I offer unique, personalized healthcare and wellness solutions tailored to your unique needs and goals. Decades of training in medicine, health & fitness, developmental biology and genetics leads to a single conclusion."
