Douglas Kuxhausen, DO

Kuxhausen works the procedural half of the Carmel practice. A patient may still start with hormones, symptoms, and labs, but his distinctive work is hands-on injection care: PRP and prolotherapy for joints, tendons, pain, and slow recovery. The emergency medicine and osteopathic background supports both pieces, giving him comfort with anatomy, procedures, and whole-person interpretation.

• Procedural lead in Carmel. He is the stronger match when PRP, prolotherapy, or injury recovery is central to the visit.
• DO plus emergency training. Osteopathic training and ER board certification combine whole-person care with procedural experience.
• Academic appointment. His Assistant Professor role in Emergency Medicine at Indiana University School of Medicine adds a teaching tie.
• Owner-clinician role. He co-owns the Carmel office rather than working there as a shift provider.

• Choose by goal. Book Kuxhausen for injection-heavy or injury-focused care; book Jason Medler, MD for broader hormone-and-wellness care.
• Ask about availability. External profiles still show emergency medicine affiliations, so clinic hours may share space with ER work.
• Bring records. For PRP or prolotherapy, bring imaging, prior procedure notes, and injury history.
• Self-pay. Plan for consult and procedure costs out of pocket.
