Meet Kara

I joined Mercy Health 22 years ago and love the mission of helping the under-served. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my husband and two children. My son is a Miami Jr. Redhawk Hockey player and we love watching him play.

	January 2024 I've recommended Dr. Kara to everybody from my wife to my mother in law
	January 2024 I absolutely love my Kids PCP Kara. She's very welcoming. Interacts with the kids. Always make it playful and fun for them. Any concerns I have she always makes them easier & clear for me . I get great understanding from her. I connect with her as a doctor but also as a mother . & that's what warms my heart the most. I wouldn't have it any other way. Im glad to have her as my kids PCP. I also recommend my god daughter to Kara. Just from my experience with her.
