Austin June Cho, DO, MPH
Touro University College of Osteopathic Medicine–California.
Before he ever stepped into a clinic, Austin learned the importance of listening through music. As a violinist who performed in numerous orchestras and chamber ensembles, he came to appreciate how attention to nuance, timing, and emotion can shape an entire experience. He brings that same mindset to patient care.

Austin grew up in Northern Virginia and later moved to Boston to attend Northeastern University, where he studied health sciences and pursued minors in biology and music. During college, he gained hands-on clinical experience at Massachusetts Eye and Ear and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where he developed an appreciation for attentive, patient-centered care. His interest in serving diverse communities grew through additional experiences, including teaching English to nonfluent adult learners, performing music at nursing homes, teaching nutritional plans to YMCA patrons, and volunteering at Brigham and Women’s Hospital as a patient ambassador and transport assistant, where he gained insight into patient engagement and hospital operations. At Northeastern, he also led a capstone project with marginalized elderly individuals at risk for medication noncompliance, developing community-based strategies to promote adherence and healthier aging.
He went on to pursue his DO and MPH degrees at Touro University California, where he continued to explore the intersection of clinical care and public health. His work included research on migrant communities along the U.S.- Mexico border, contributing to qualitative analysis and manuscripts on the resilience of humanitarian organizations. Leadership roles in student organizations and continued clinical experiences further reinforced his commitment to holistic care.
Drawn to family medicine for its continuity and versatility, Austin is excited to continue his training in Santa Rosa and to care for the North Bay community. Outside of medicine, he enjoys hiking, playing the violin, watching movies, building Legos, playing board games, exploring new restaurants, and spending time with friends and family.
