She has been with the practice since the FIRST day, when Dr. Main opened 24 years ago! She has taken on many important roles in those 24 years. She does the medical transcription for Dr. Main, is the instrument tech on surgery days, and is Kathy’s Medical Assistant. She provides support and words of encouragement to all of our post-op patients, as she is the one changing their bandages when they come back after surgery.

Kathy is board certified as a Physician Assistant (PA) through the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA).
