“When I was a young adult, I thought that I would be a scientist and a teacher. After doing research and teaching for years, I decided that I wanted to help people by combining teaching, science and human interaction. Thus, I became a doctor” expressed Dr. Cauthen.
With unsurpassed professional skills, he is board-certified in cardiovascular disease & advanced heart failure and transplant cardiology by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM).

Cardiology is a branch of medicine that deals with the disorders of the heart, as well as the circulatory system. The field includes medical diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart defects, coronary artery disease, heart failure, valvular heart disease, and electrophysiology. Cardiologists are doctors who diagnose, assess, and treat patients with diseases and defects of the heart and blood vessels (the cardiovascular system).
On a more personal note, Dr. Cauthen lives in Austin with his wife and three children.
