Mariko Kita, MD

Mariko Kita, MD, is a board-certified neurologist with special medical interest in multiple sclerosis. In addition to caring for patients with the disease, she is also involved in multiple sclerosis research.

Dr. Kita takes the responsibility of caring for her patients very seriously. Because the disease manifests itself differently in every patient, she makes a point to listen carefully to what each of her patients has to say and to individualize their care based on their unique needs. She is inspired daily by the strength, determination and motivation of her patients, who continue to live their lives fully.

Dr. Kita enjoys theater, music, watching the Seahawks, and is a mother of three daughters.
