I knew Katy when she assisted Dr. Dutra. She is extremely knowledgeable and competent. Thus I requested an appointment with Katy specifically, especially since she also knew me from years ago.

Katy carefully had my drain removed after an initial postponement due to the fact that I was still draining too much fluid the previous 24 hours. When that had slowed to a safe rate she removed the drain and helped us to schedule a follow-up appointment with Dr [last name]. Very helpful.

Katy was so thorough in going through my chart ahead of time and made sure she really understood my patient and family history so she could make the best recommendation. She also did a great job explaining what aspects of thyroid nodules can be concerning and what she looks for when taking next steps. She made me feel validated and confident in my medical care and was a great listener and educator. Plus she was incredibly nice! Cannot recommend Katy enough!

She's very knowledgeable and kind. I was surprised she was not just going of of textbook knowledge, but she also experienced what I am currently going through and I appreciated her sharing that with me. I look forward to future visits under her care. One of her patients told me to see her and I'm so glad I did.
