Meet Dr. Kate Dee:
Kate grew up in New York City and attended Yale for college and medical school, finishing her MD in 1994. She completed residency in Diagnostic Imaging at the University of Washington in 1999 followed by fellowship in Breast Imaging at the University of California, San Francisco in 2000. She was a breast cancer specialist at Seattle Breast Center for 13 years, receiving Top Doc honors each year since 2010. After a successful career in breast cancer, Kate found her way to aesthetic medicine in her 40's when her expertise with needle procedures coincided with a deep interest in anti-aging techniques. Kate is also founder of the Medspa Board, a national organization that offers certifications for ethical medical spas. Kate has 3 adult kids and lives in West Seattle. She especially loves to ski, cycle, and hike.
