Kate Vellenga Meriwether MD

Dr. Meriwether received a degree in Biomedical Sciences from Michigan Technological University in 2004. After her MD degree in 2008 from Michigan State with extensive work in global medicine in Hispanic America and Africa, she knew she wanted to work with underserved minority women and sought a residency in Washington, DC. As she wanted to work in an ethnically diverse, less dense population to complete her training, she completed a fellowship in Female Pelvic Surgery at the University of New Mexico in 2015. After 4 years practicing in Kentucky, she returned to New Mexico to renew her lifetime goal of serving this diverse community and learning about how health beliefs affect the patient choice of therapy in the delicate personal problems of incontinence, prolapse, sexual dysfunction, and pelvic pain.
