About
Kathleen H. “Katie” George, MD, decided to pursue medicine while she was in college. “I grew up loving science and always considered medicine as a possible career, but several of my shadowing and volunteer experiences in high school and college helped me solidify the decision,” she says.
As the second physician in her family, Dr. George follows in the tradition started by her father. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Biology from Kalamazoo College, Kalamazoo, MI, and her Doctor of Medicine degree from Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit. Her residency was completed at Memorial Family Medicine Residency, South Bend, IN.
Dr. George sees a need for more primary care providers in the healthcare care system, so she chose family medicine as her specialty. “I work with people to help them manage their health. I chose family medicine because it allows me to provide care to people of all ages with a variety of health conditions,” she says.
Feeling that she helps people most when she meets them where they are in life, Dr. George says, “I believe my role is to help guide people to make the best health decisions for themselves.”
As for how she hopes patients view her care Dr. George says, “I hope they know that if we do not find the right solution or answer on our first attempt, I am committed to working with them to find the next step forward.”
In her own words…
Who is or was the most influential people/role models in your life? My mom
What was your first job growing up? What do you remember about it? I babysat throughout high school, college and medical school. I loved spending time with the kids; I always left in a better mood than I arrived in.
What is your favorite food? Movie? Favorite food: Santa Claus melon. Favorite movie: The Holiday.
What was your best/worst subjects in school growing up? My best subject was math, and my worst was English.
If you could sit down to dinner with anyone (alive or deceased) who would it be and why? Betty White or Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda because I think they are hilarious and would have great stories to share.
What are your hobbies, interests? I enjoy sports, reading, going to the movies, traveling, and spending time with friends and family.
What is something most people don’t know about you? During college, I considered ditching the science track and studying political science instead.
