MEET MARY KATE:
From Emergency Rooms to Changing Lives in Plastic Surgery
If you’ve been in the office recently, you may have met our new nurse, Mary Kate (or MK, as many of us call her). Mary Kate joined our team this past summer and has been an
excellent addition to our team. She’s been a nurse for three years, and before this, she was a nurse in the emergency department in her hometown, Hattiesburg, Mississippi. “Growing up, like many other kids, I always thought I was going to be a surgeon,” she tells us. “Then, my desires and wants changed. I became a nurse mainly because my older cousin is a pediatric orthopedic nurse practitioner, and I always looked up to her.” Mary Kate went on to pursue nursing at the University of Southern Mississippi and never looked back. “Here at Music City Plastic Surgery, I really enjoy the patients,” Mary Kate boasts. “Unlike the patients I was used to in the ER, who were there because they had to be, our patients are here because they want to be.” For Mary Kate, patient care and the opportunity to impact lives in profound ways keep her motivated. She loves the
opportunity to continuously learn new things and create bonds with patients during their treatment journeys. “Everyone at Music City Plastic Surgery has been so kind and helpful,” she says. “Dr. Burgdorf takes so much time with me, and Michelle, our office manager, has made Music City Plastic Surgery feel just like home.” When she’s not at work, Mary Kate enjoys spending quality time with her husband and their energetic 2-year-old golden retriever, Riggs, who keeps her busy at home. She also loves attending sporting events and concerts, and in her downtime, she’s happiest curling up with a good book or catching up on her favorite TV shows. Mary Kate, we couldn’t have asked for a better nurse to join our family. We are thrilled to welcome you to the team and look forward to working together for many years to come as we best support our patients!
