Hi! I am Katherine, known around here as Kat. I was born and raised in the area and look forward to seeing so many familiar faces! I am the financial and insurance coordinator in which I strive to assist each of you to the best of my ability here at ETO! I have been with Dr Trisler and his team since May 2022 and can say I have found my home away from home.
