My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...
My philosophy of medicine is to treat patients in the same way I would want any member of my family to be treated. I pride myself on having the ability to listen, get to know my patients as people and involve them in medical decision making. When needed, I send my patients to specialists who I would choose for my own care. I provide primary care, internal medicine and have special interests in cardiovascular health, preventive medicine, diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure), cholesterol disorders and women’s health.
I am one of the few female internal medicine physicians in the Greater Cincinnati area of Ohio offering this concierge-like, personalized healthcare approach. My patients come from all over Cincinnati, including Fairfield, Forest Park and Hamilton, as well as Indian Hill, Blue Ash, Montgomery and Loveland. I even have patients as far south as northern Kentucky. I am a staff physician with Mercy Health Fairfield and pride myself on seeing my own patients if they are hospitalized.

Dr. Kathleen Alter is just amazing. She really listens to your concerns, fears, and symptoms. She has been such a blessing to me. I like how she makes suggestions on how to use natural health solutions rather than medicine to solve some of my heath concerns. I feel she has my best interest and more like a friend who really cares about me. I really thank God for Dr. Kathleen Alter.

I had emergency surgery and Dr. Alter was there every step of the way. She visited me daily in the hospital, saw that I needed a private room and a direct line to draw blood and administer medications, rather than being stuck several times a day. She also go a surgeon she trusted to go my surgery, even though it was a weekend. All this really helped my time in the hospital and made for a… See more
