Spencer Warden, MD
University of Cincinnati COM
Spencer Warden, MD, is a life-long Ohio native who grew up in Cambridge, went to undergraduate in Columbus, medical school in Cincinnati, and now residency in Dayton. He loves all aspects of Family Medicine but finds particular interest in substance use and behavioral health. He chose the rural pathway because of his small-town upbringing and desire to learn how to provide excellent care in other areas with similarly scarce resources. He's rotated with the Indian Health Service and hopes to continue to seek out similar opportunities to learn from different communities in the future. Outside of medicine you can find him with his fiancée (an M2 at Wright State as of 2023) hiking, rock-climbing, or playing pickup basketball. You may also find him proudly boasting about having seen and rated over 1000 movies on Letterboxd.
