Ashton Skopec, MD

Hello! My name Ashton Skopec. I grew up in Bolivar, MO, with my parents and two sisters who continue to live in the area to this day. I met my husband in high school, and we attended the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg for our undergraduate degrees. We then moved to Columbia, MO, where I completed my medical education at the University of Missouri School of Medicine.
 

Growing up in a small town, my idea of a doctor was always that of a family medicine physician. During medical school, I found that I enjoyed seeing patients of all ages from various walks of life, and I love the diversity that family medicine offers in terms of the patient population and the scope of practice. I have special interests in women's health, obstetrics, and pediatrics, but am excited to learn all the ins and outs of family medicine at CoxHealth! This program is filled with amazing people, and I am so excited to be able to learn from them.
 

My husband and I welcomed our son in early 2024, and we are so thrilled to be able to move closer to home for my residency training. In our free time, we love playing with our pets, spending time outside and going for walks.
