A Personal Welcome from Dr. Kate Shattenkirk
It was one of the greatest privileges of my career to serve the Cashiers community as a family physician over the past four years. I am deeply grateful for the trust my patients placed in me and for the relationships we built together. Although I have transitioned from family medicine to practicing medical aesthetics full-time, my commitment to caring for this community has never changed. It has simply taken a new direction.
For more than 20 years, I have also had the privilege of practicing and teaching laser medicine and aesthetic procedures. Today, I am excited to devote my practice entirely to helping women and men achieve healthier, more confident skin through personalized, physician-directed care. Whether you are a familiar face or meeting me for the first time, I look forward to welcoming you to Dr. Kate's Medical Aesthetics.
I am a board-certified family physician with more than two decades of experience in aesthetic medicine and laser surgery. As a Candela Corporation instructor, I trained and officially certified physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, and aestheticians in the United States on the applications and safety of the proper use of lasers. I have also lectured nationally and internationally on the clinical applications and safety of Candela laser systems. As a Candela Corporation Luminary, I had the privilege of traveling and lecturing in China, Australia, Thailand, Viet Nam, Singapore, Indonesia, and Germany. I am a member of the American Society of Laser Medicine and Surgery and a member of the American Academy of Family Physicians.
