Kelsey Wilkins, PA-C

Kelsey Wilkins, PA-C, specializes in breast surgery at Utica Park Clinic. Her professional areas of interest include breast surgery, plastic surgery and micropigmentation (medical tattooing). Kelsey spent 13 years working in plastic surgery, primarily treating breast patients and specializing in nipple tattooing post reconstruction. When a new opportunity was presented, Kelsey wasted no time in taking it. She said, “When an opportunity to work in breast surgery arose, I jumped on it.” Now, as Kelsey works to make a difference in the lives of her patients, she also gets to build long-lasting connections. “As a PA (physician assistant), I love having adequate time and many visits with my patients, which provides opportunity to really get to know people. It’s one of my favorite parts about my job,” she said. Word of advice that Kelsey likes to pass on to her patients is, “Take care of yourself, because if you don’t take care of yourself first, you won’t be able to take care of others. As …women, mothers and caretakers we often forget this.” Kelsey’s love for science and desire to learn about how bodies work goes back as far as she can remember. “Medicine provides the opportunity to help patients understand the same and provide care where needed,” she said. Outside of work, Kelsey enjoys running marathons, CrossFit, cycling, singing on the worship team at church and spending time with family.
