Catherine Marie Pierce, PA-C

Catherine Pierce, PA, believes that patient care involves so much more than just the direct in-person interaction in the hospital or the office. She strives to provide excellent care beginning and ending with communication, not just with the patient, but with their family, primary care provider, and with other specialists or disciplines helping to treat their medical issues. This helps ensure the encompassing of all the patient's needs and that each person in their medical story is knowledgeable and can provide the highest level of care available. Catherine received her undergraduate degree in Animal Science from Colorado State University and her graduate studies include a Master of Medical Science from St. Francis University in Pennsylvania. She obtained her Physician Assistant Certification at Red Rock Community College and currently holds certification in Emergency Neurologic Life Support. Specific conditions treated include chronic degenerative diseases and tumors of the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spinal column such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis and adult deformity. Catherine also specializes in treating fractures and dislocations, peripheral nerve conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome and ulnar neuropathy, primary and secondary brain tumors, and Hydrocephalus including NPH. Her procedural focus includes minimally invasive lumbar spinal surgery and cervical artificial disc replacement. When not working with patients, Catherine enjoys spending time with her husband and two children hiking, biking, and skiing in the winter. She loves to read all genres of books and enjoys most types of movies.
