She is amazing. Enthusiastic and upbeat. Always positive. She is very knowledgeable and willing to answer any and all questions.
She takes the time to explain every step of the procedure, what to expect and all things that follow surgery and recovery.

At the conclusion of her medical training, Katy was inducted into the Pi Alpha National Honor Society for Physician Assistants in recognition of her academic achievement, leadership, and community/professional service.
