Dr. Austin Thornton is originally from Arizona and attended Arizona State University before pursuing a career in medicine. He has a strong interest in sports medicine and enjoys helping patients stay healthy, active, and performing at their best. Austin is known for his dedication to fitness—you can count on him to bring a protein-packed lunch to work each day and spend his free time in the gym, often with heavy metal and rap music providing the soundtrack to his workouts. Outside of medicine, he enjoys spending time with his dog, Biggie, who is a frequent companion on his adventures. In the clinic, he is a gifted educator whose approachable teaching style makes him a favorite among medical students. Whether he's mentoring learners, caring for patients, or chasing a new personal record in the gym, Austin brings discipline, enthusiasm, and a commitment to excellence in everything he does.
