About Kathleen Vonderhaar

I enjoy working with patients, families, and therapists to optimize individual’s development and function. Functional levels and goals vary for each patient, but it is always rewarding to see patients grow, achieve goals, and improve their function at home and in their communities.

Patient comments

Care and patience with my granddaughter
October 21, 2025
The friendliness of the front stuff, the accessibility especially compared to the main hospital, the quality of care from our nurse and our provider.

Dr. V listened to everything I had to say and did not rush our appointment. I appreciate her patience and her thoroughness. I felt like I could ask any question even if it wasn't something that I was sure was in her field. She still helped us navigate and find resources that we lack at home. She has a very scientific mind and is extremely experienced and offered alternative perspectives for the future. She is worth the travel to come and see!
