Healthcare For You - and Your Family, Too

We specialize in adult primary care, but we’re happy to provide routine and urgent care for your children—so you don’t have to split your family’s care between providers

Adult-Focused, Family-Friendly

If you're a parent, you know it’s easier when your family can be seen in one place. That’s why we also care for your children for everyday health needs—like illness visits or physicals.

While we’re here for the basics, if your child needs more advanced pediatric care — like behavioral assessments, complex conditions, or specialist evaluations — we’ll connect you with trusted local pediatricians. Our goal is to keep care simple, connected, and centered around your family’s needs.

School & Sports Physicals

Convenient annual exams and required forms for daycare, school, and activities.

Our Physician and Team

Cynthia Villacis, MD

Dr. Cynthia Villacis, MD

Bilingual Family Physician, Civil Surgeon and Life Coach

I’m Dr. Cynthia Villacis, a family doctor with over 20 years of experience — and someone who’s walked many of the same health journeys as my patients. I’ve faced struggles with weight, blood sugar, stress, and sleep, and I know how frustrating it is to feel like you’re doing everything right and still not getting answers.

That’s why I created Health Connections DPC — to offer care that’s personal, judgment-free, and focused on the whole you. I take time to listen, look at root causes, and help you build a plan that fits your life. I also proudly serve a diverse, inclusive community — including immigrants, LGBTQ+ individuals, and Spanish-speaking families — with compassion and respect.

I completed my residency in Family Medicine in 2002 — the same year my second child was born — and I’ve spent over two decades helping people manage chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and obesity through a root-cause approach grounded in lifestyle medicine. I’m also board certified in addiction medicine and have a special interest in mental health, women’s health, and immigrant health.

For many years, I worked in a busy community health center. But I found that 10-15 minute visits weren’t enough to make the kind of meaningful impact I wanted — especially for patients dealing with stress, mood struggles, weight gain, or hormonal changes. That’s why I opened my own practice in 2017, offering longer visits, easier access, and more time to actually connect and care.

My practice is fully bilingual in English and Spanish. I learned Spanish while living in Ecuador as an exchange student in 1988 — where I also met my future husband. I’ve had a passion for working with immigrant families ever since, and I’m also a designated civil surgeon, providing USCIS I-693 immigration medical exams in a compassionate, low-stress environment.

Outside the office, I’m a proud mom of two grown kids, wife of 30+ years, and outdoor enthusiast. I enjoy kayaking, yoga, hiking, scuba diving, and exploring new places — and I strongly believe that joyful movement and adventure are possible at any size. I’ve been on my own journey with weight, metabolic health, and self-compassion, which fuels the care I offer my patients.

If you’re looking for a doctor who sees the full picture — body, mind, and lifestyle — and who truly takes the time to listen, I’d love to welcome you to Health Connections DPC.

Bilingual Assistant

👩‍💼 Meet Gisselle

Bilingual Medical Assistant & Office Manager

I first joined Health Connections DPC in 2023 and returned in the fall of 2024 after completing my Associate’s Degree in Business. It’s an honor to now serve as both a medical assistant and the office manager, supporting our patients and keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes.

Originally from Puerto Rico, I moved to Kentucky in 2017 and have been dedicated ever since to helping people from all backgrounds feel cared for and understood. As a bilingual team member, I take pride in bridging language and cultural gaps — ensuring that both English and Spanish-speaking patients receive the clear, compassionate care they deserve.

I love learning and am always looking for ways to grow in my role and serve our community even better. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, knitting, and spending quality time with my family — the people who keep me grounded and inspired.

👋 Meet Paula

Bilingual Medical Assistant | Patient Care Coordinator

I joined Health Connections DPC in the spring of 2024, bringing with me a deep appreciation for cultural diversity and compassionate care. As an immigrant and a native Spanish and English speaker, I’ve seen firsthand how important it is to feel truly understood—especially in healthcare. My background allows me to connect with patients from all walks of life, and I’m passionate about creating a space where every person feels heard, respected, and supported.

My own journey has taught me the power of empathy and clear communication—especially when navigating complex medical systems or unfamiliar territory. Whether I’m helping with appointments, answering questions, or simply offering a friendly face, I strive to be a steady, caring presence for each person who walks through our doors.

Outside the clinic, I love to travel and explore new cultures. Every trip reminds me how much there is to learn from others. I also treasure time with my family, who are my foundation and my biggest inspiration.

At Health Connections, I’m proud to be part of a team that treats people like people—not just patients.

We proudly welcome LGBTQ+ individuals, immigrants, and people of all sizes, colors, and faiths. Se habla Español.
