About
Dr. Carolyn Guarino-Vogler is a family medicine physician and the founder of Prometheus Primary Care in Westerville, Ohio. She opened the practice in January 2017 after leaving a traditional setting in Beechwold, Ohio, where high patient volume made it hard to give each person the time they deserved. She has always practiced with the conviction that medicine works best when a doctor truly listens.
Dr. Guarino-Vogler treats a broad range of conditions, including hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, asthma, GERD, IBS, migraines, depression, anxiety, and adult ADD. She brings particular depth to the management of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, a connective tissue disorder she lives with herself. That personal experience sharpens her understanding of the condition and the patients who navigate it daily. She does not prescribe pain medication or controlled substances. The Columbus Dispatch recognized her work in a February 2017 article on innovative primary care models in central Ohio.
