Dr. Kristia Patsavas joined Associates in ObGyn a little over a year ago. She was born and raised in Palos Heights and is the oldest of three siblings. She enjoyed caring for her younger brothers alongside her parents. When it became time to choose a field of study, she knew she wanted to work with people but hadn’t yet considered a career as a physician. It wasn’t until a close teacher of hers suggested she become an ObGyn because of her warm, caring personality and great listening skills. “Becoming a doctor made perfect sense,” Dr. Patsavas says. “It was just the right combination of science and humanity.”
Two years later, she started medical school. She enjoyed all of her rotations but says nothing compared to obstetrics and gynecology. She describes delivering a newborn as a feeling second to none in this world and enjoyed providing comfort and compassion to those in need during tragic times. “Obstetrics and gynecology had brains, emotions, and, most importantly, heart,” she says. “It was so me.”
She found her dream practice at Associates in ObGyn in Park Ridge. The office was warm and comfortable, the staff was friendly and endearing; and the doctors were poised, eloquent and up-to-date with the latest medical and surgical advances. “They were the kind of doctors that I would choose for myself,” Dr. Pastsavas says. “I had found my place.” Her practice philosophy is simple, she says. She’s the healthcare guide on her patients’ road to health, a lifelong journey. “Sometimes it is easy, sometimes it is hard, and sometimes it can even cause worry,” she says. She’s there to provide education, assist with decisions, and alleviate fears.
