Certifications, Memberships, Accomplishments

Katherine’s nursing background was entirely in the Emergency Department, where she was Charge Nurse, a Preceptor for new nurses, and served on multiple committees. She gained extensive experience in many acute and emergent urological conditions such as kidney stones, urinary retention and catheter placement, orchitis/epididymitis, UTI and sepsis, and testicular/ovarian torsion. As a nurse practitioner, she has worked both in Urology and Urgent Care.

Katherine has experience and interest in all urological conditions, both male and female, and her goal is to teach patients about their condition(s), treat those conditions to the best of her ability, and make their patients feel a little more at ease discussing what are often very personal and private issues.
