Dr. Kaitlyn Hite now seeing patients at Oaklawn’s Coldwater office

Dr. Kaitlyn Hite, who has been with Oaklawn since fall 2022 at its Marshall and Tekonsha locations, is now also seeing patients at Oaklawn’s Coldwater Primary Care office.

Hite is a Family Practice with Obstetrics provider and her addition to the Coldwater office is timely since the hospital in Coldwater recently announced they are closing their Birth Center and Obstetrics service line. Some of those patients in Coldwater are expected to be accommodated by Hite and the Oaklawn office.

The Oaklawn Primary Care office in Coldwater is located at 375 N Willowbrook Rd,
Coldwater, MI 49036. The office can be reached at 517-924-1605 to make an appointment.

“Being a family physician, I really love treating the whole family, and that includes when you’re starting a family with Obstetrics,” said Hite. “It is very rewarding.”

Hite plans to work in the Coldwater office on most Fridays and shared some comments for prospective patients.

“We are happy to have them join our practice and look forward to caring for them the best we can in this transition,” she said. “We know that can be somewhat scary when you lose a facility that you were hoping to deliver at.”

Hite also works at Oaklawn Medical Group-Marshall Primary Care as well as at Oaklawn Medical Group-Tekonsha. 

Marshall Primary Care is based in Suite 1E of the Wright Medical Building at 215 E. Mansion St. Appointments may be made by calling 269-781-3938. The Tekonsha office is at 2218 Old US 27 North. Appointments there may be made by calling 517-767-4038.

Hite earned a Bachelor of Science degree in biology from Saint Leo University in St. Leo, Florida, in 2015. She received her degree as a Doctor of Medicine from the Orlando-based University of Central Florida College of Medicine in 2019.

Hite focuses on the following areas:

• Family medicine
• Pediatric care
• Obstetrics
• Integrative medicine
• Fertility awareness
• International public health
• Fertility awareness-based methods training for family planning
• Fertility awareness infertility evaluation and treatment
• Integrative/alternative treatment plans
• Health readiness for international travel
• Lab testing
• Imaging
• Specialist referrals
• MAT (medication assisted treatment) for opioid use disorder with suboxone

During her studies, Hite settled on family medicine as her specialty because “that gives you the best platform in medicine,” she noted.

The goal of that approach is “to care for a whole family holistically, considering the patient’s socio-economic situation and interactions at home,” she said. “Family medicine gives you a chance to look at all those components to better care for people.”
