Bio

Mary Zeitler, MD joined DFMCH in 2025 as a resident. Zeitler is drawn to family medicine by meaningful physician-patient relationships. While working with a family physician in a small town, Mary witnessed how to effectively balance a busy clinic schedule with ensuring that each patient feels heard and seen, and the impact that one person can have on an entire community.

Growing up in a multicultural household gave Zeitler perspective into the uniqueness of each individual and motivated her to try to understand people deeply. Re-starting a community free clinic after the COVID-19 pandemic sparked her passion for family medicine and community health. Zeitler’s interest in accessible health care was deepened through volunteering at community health fairs.

Outside of medicine, Zeitler enjoys hiking, spending time with pets, and taking care of houseplants.
