Mara Catherine Sponseller

The love of science, combined with a passion for
impacting people’s health and well-being, brought
Dr. Mara Sponseller to medicine. She chose to specialize
in internal medicine for the challenges presented
in diagnosing and problem solving. She also values
meeting patients and learning about their lives.
Dr. Sponseller sees adults for the prevention, diagnosis
and treatment of acute and chronic illnesses. She
is particularly interested in women’s health and the
prevention of cardiovascular disease. She believes in a
patient-centered approach, working together with her
patients to find the best care plan. She wants patients to
feel comfortable sharing their goals and priorities. While
advances in medicine make many treatments possible,
she works with her patient to assure that any plan allows
for an acceptable quality of life, staying in line with the
patient’s needs and desires.
Originally from North Canton, Dr. Sponseller came to
Cincinnati for medical school. She met her husband
here and found a new home. She enjoys running,
workout classes, trying new restaurants and hanging at
home with her husband and their cat, Kool-Aid.
