Catherine Kuo, MD

Halfway through medical school, Catherine Kuo, MD, spent several weeks leading primary care outreach clinics in Africa. It was an experience that reshaped how she thinks about the responsibility that comes with being a physician, and she’s bringing that mindset with her to NGPG Buford.

Dr. Kuo grew up in Washington and earned her medical degree from St. George's University School of Medicine on the Caribbean island of Grenada – spending most of her time in the United Kingdom, though, as part of the program’s global health track. Her residency training brought her back to the states as she completed her family medicine residency at Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville. During her training, she was named chief resident and recognized as the Georgia Academy of Family Physicians' 2026 Family Medicine Resident of the Year.

Outside of work, Dr. Kuo enjoys traveling, drinking coffee and reading.
