The care you need.

Primary Care in Austin, TX & REmote Health Coaching

Board-certified Physician Assistant and remote health coach, Cynthia Pokluda blends diagnostic insight with real-world support, offering both clinical care through Curative and personalized health coaching.

Hi, I’m Cynthia.

PA-C, MMS

My practice is rooted in humility, curiosity, and deep respect. These values shape how I listen, how I educate, and how I partner with people on their health journey. Whether we’re navigating a diagnosis or building small, sustainable habits, I’m here to meet you where you are and move forward together.

I’ve spent over a decade in primary care, with nearly 10 years practicing independently in correctional medicine. I’m board certified through the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and hold a Master of Medical Science from Midwestern University. My clinical work is grounded in evidence, prevention, and a whole-person approach—because you’re more than just symptoms or lab results.

How to work with me

Primary Care through Curative

 I currently provide in-network primary care for adults through Curative—a unique employer-sponsored health insurance plan designed for simplicity, transparency, and access. If your company offers Curative, you can see me for both in-person and virtual visits.

Curative Primary Care is delivered by a team of licensed doctors, nurses, and clinical professionals who work exclusively with Curative members. Our clinic is located in downtown Austin, and virtual visits are available for added flexibility.

My Approach:

Hardworking, humble and honest. Three traits that hold a true north for me.

These values shaped how I grew up and still guide how I show up—whether I’m in the clinic, on a coaching call, or holding space for someone navigating change.

In primary care, these values mean staying curious, asking better questions, and learning from every patient interaction. I’ve worked in complex settings—from correctional medicine to community clinics—where humility and teamwork weren’t optional; they were essential to providing safe, thoughtful care.

In health coaching, these same principles help me build trust, meet people where they are, and move forward together. There’s no one-size-fits-all plan—just consistent effort, honest conversations, and space for you to grow at your own pace.
