Dr. Katherine Fay Jue, MD

Welcome to my home page

I enjoy making a difference in the lives of others. The reason I chose my subspecialty in breast imaging is that I enjoy the interaction with patients and diagnosing/excluding breast cancer. I meet amazing women who share different outlooks on life and many are courageous survivors. I am happy to be contributing a small part to their overall care.

Radiology is about making a diagnosis through images. I find it challenging and interesting to see different images and use them as clues to formulate a diagnosis. But beyond making a diagnosis, I think everyone is entitled to quality care, and I believe in communicating clearly to patients. This means I explain processes step by step, help set patient expectations, and define results and outcomes from mammography and other procedures. In breast imaging, I believe in a compassionate and caring environment, since it can be a very stressful time for women having to return for additional imaging or a procedure or being …newly diagnosed with cancer.

I chose to join Kaiser Permanente because everyone is friendly and approachable, and we work as a team. I’m able to concentrate on my work and specialty without worrying about the business aspects. Also, I love Kaiser Permanente's thrive campaign and the fact that this organization promotes general wellness and sponsors events like races and marathons to support our community. On a personal note, my hobbies include running, hiking, photography, cooking, reading, and traveling.
