Pediatrician Kathryn (Kate) Hausotter, DO, grew up in Oregon's Willamette Valley. She stayed in the area for medical school, graduating from Western University of Health Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific-Northwest.

Dr. Hausotter found a new place to call home when she came to Phoenix Children's for her residency. "I ended up loving all Arizona has to offer!" Dr. Hausotter says. Her training allowed her to learn from patients and see Phoenix Children's culture of care at work. "I'm thrilled to continue working within the Phoenix Children's family," Dr. Hausotter says.

Although she has a soft spot for newborn care and early childhood development, Dr. Hausotter enjoys caring for children at every age and stage. In addition, she's trained in and practices hands-on osteopathic manipulative treatment whenever possible.

When she's not working, Dr. Hausotter loves hiking, exercising and exploring Arizona. She also enjoys spending time with friends and family and trying new restaurants.
