About Me

Dr. Kauppi is board certified in Internal Medicine-Endocrinology. After earning his medical degree from Emory University, he received additional training through a residency in Internal Medicine at Emory University, and a fellowship in Endocrinology at Emory University. 

He loves caring for the Lynchburg community because, "I love the city and its people. Lynchburg has been my home since 2004. I take great pride in providing the best care for my patients, improving their control of their diabetes or other endocrine problems, and improving their quality of life." When he is not providing care at the Heart & Vascular Institute, he likes to spend his time bicycling, golfing, playing the tuba, and spending time with family.

Dr. Kauppi spent a lot of time with me going over my medical history, my symptoms, etc. He explained very thoroughly my situation with my thyroid and even used a pad to illustrate my thyroid and what was going on inside, etc. That definitely helped me understand a lot better. He was kind & informative. I definitely felt a lot better after seeing him about my symptoms and our course of action going forward.

Ratings and comments are obtained from verified patient survey data collected on behalf of Centra by a third-party vendor, Press Ganey Associates, Inc. Centra uses Press Ganey’s MD satisfaction surveys to assess patients' experiences with healthcare providers and staff. In order to support full transparency, Centra ensures that the full range of patient comments, both positive and negative, are published.

Star ratings are displayed only for those physicians who participate in Centra’s patient experience survey program through Press Ganey and have received a minimum of 30 surveys responses.

Despite the drive toward full transparency, occasionally some comments cannot be published because they jeopardize the patient’s privacy, contain vulgar or offensive language, or contain libelous or defamatory content. In these rare instances, comment exclusion based on a strict set of exclusion criteria may be appropriate.
