MEET AMBER DEPTOLA, MD                                                                       

A first generation physician, Dr. Amber (Zimmer) Deptola decided to pursue a career in medicine after volunteering at Norton Children’s Hospital in high school. During her volunteer experiences, she realized the great potential for physicians to connect with their patients and partner with them towards better health, an aim she continues to strive for in her care now as physician.

Originally from Ohio, Dr. Deptola completed her undergraduate degree at Miami University in Ohio and then returned back to Kentucky for her medical school training at the University of Louisville, where she graduated with highest honors. After she completed her residency training in Internal Medicine at Washington University in St. Louis, Dr. Deptola served as a Chief Resident, and then remained in St. Louis as a faculty member for 8 years. As faculty, Dr. Deptola cared for patients, taught, and directed multiple programs for medical students and resident physicians. In addition to teaching evidence-based medicine, Dr. Deptola trained resident physicians on communication skills, including the use of coaching and motivational interviewing in patient care. Dr. Deptola believes strongly that building close relationships with patients and use of good communication strategies is integral to helping achieve health goals that are personalized to each patient.

Dr. Deptola returned to Louisville with her husband and 2 children in 2022 after missing the small town feel. When not caring for patients, Dr. Deptola can be found out in the Crestwood community cheering on her kids in their sports, leading girl scouts, volunteering, exercising, & baking bread.
