For her graduate studies, she attended Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions (RMU) in Provo, Utah.

    - Fractional CO2 laser treatments for hypertrophic scarring

    Kathleen and her husband have lived in Salt Lake City since 2013. She is an Ironman triathlete (checked Ironman Wisconsin off her bucket list in 2021), loves biking up SLC's many canyons, and enjoys backpacking, camping, and trail running with her dog, Zia. She often spends her free time baking... cupcakes are her love language.

    She was amazingly present. She listened intently. Responses were clear and cogent. She answered all of my questions and left me feeling like I was coming down the homestretch to healing. I was most impressed with her penchant for action. She moves so quickly and does things and such an efficient manner, but without any sense of being hurried or distracted. That part was most impressive to me. Thank you very much, [NAME REMOVED]!
