Hi, my name is Dr. Catherine Casey, and I'm a family medicine physician. I use she/her
pronouns. I see patients of all ages, including pediatrics, prenatal patients, and geriatric patients.

I perform outpatient gynecologic procedures, like pap smears and IUD placements. And I specialize in providing gender-affirming hormone therapy and services for patients over the age of 18.

I find it's really wonderful to work with people who are in the process of self-actualizing. From seeing people go from being in a place of anxiety and depression, as well as lack of support and feeling like they're not in the right body, to transitioning to a point where I see them happy and fulfilled. It’s just a feeling that can't be beat.
