Brett Stinogel, DO
Hello! My name is Brett Stinogel. I was born and raised in St. Cloud, Minnesota. I lived in Duluth, MN while I completed undergraduate education at the University of Minnesota-Duluth, then moved to Lynchburg, VA to further my education at Liberty University with a master’s degree in biomedical science. During this time, I met my wife, Cerena, and we got married in 2021!
Before medical school, I had a great experience working as a medical scribe at a family medicine outpatient clinic in Forest, VA. It was during this experience that I knew I wanted to be a family medicine doctor. I loved the continuity of care and ability to develop relationships with patients and families, and the comprehensive skills and knowledge of practice.
I completed my first two years of medical school at Liberty University. When my wife, Cerena, matched into residency here at CoxHealth FMR, I transferred to A.T. Still University in Kirksville, MO so that I could complete my 3rd and 4th years in Springfield. This allowed me to stay with my family and not have to live apart at all for those two years.
Everyone at CoxHealth FMR has been so welcoming, genuine, and kind to us. I have seen firsthand how they truly value their residents and try to emphasize individual strengths and wellness while also building lifelong friendships. Springfield has become home to our family, and we look forward to providing care and service to Springfield and the surrounding communities.
My wife and two kids are my pride and joy. I always cherish spending time with them. We love to go for walks, explore local parks, or just be together at home. I also really enjoy reading non-fiction books, working out, eating my wife’s home cooked meals, and I am an avid fan of the Green Bay Packers.
