About Dr. Parisi

The variety of what happens each day is one reason Kathrin M. Parisi, MD, chose the specialty of obstetrics and gynecology. “One day is clinic, the next is surgery and the day after is labor and delivery! It’s never a dull moment,” she says.

A career in medicine was of interest to her as early as high school. “I liked helping people and enjoyed academic challenges,” she says. “As I got older, OB/GYN stood out, because it focuses on all aspects of women’s healthcare and stages of life. Nothing else really seemed as interesting.”

She earned her Bachelor of Science and a Minor in Spanish Language at Oakland University, Rochester, MI. Her Doctorate of Medicine was earned at Central Michigan University College of Medicine, Mt. Pleasant, MI. Dr. Parisi then completed her OB/GYN Resident Physician work at Central Michigan University College of Medicine, Saginaw, MI (Covenant Medical Center).

Dr. Parisi assists patients with their health care needs focusing on reproductive care. She wants patients to know she does her best to provide nonjudgemental healthcare. “I am here for you in your healthcare journey to achieve your goals,” she says.

From her patients, she has learned to keep an open mind. From her, Dr. Parisi hopes each patient knows they are important and that their health care needs matter.
