Education and Training
I am a physician assistant with
more than four years’ experience
in a dynamic family medicine
office. I received my Master of
Science in Physician Assistant
Studies degree and my Bachelor
of Science degree from Rochester
Institute of Technology –
graduating Summa Cum Laude.
I am a member of the American Academy of Physician
Assistants and the Society of PAs in Family Medicine.

Philosophy
I believe that continuity of care is a key component of
quality care. One of my favorite parts of working in
primary care is forging relationships with patients and
getting to know them on a deeper level. This allows for
trust between my patients and me so we can approach
their treatments as a team.

Special Interests
In addition to primary care, I am interested in adolescent
medicine, mental health, and health equality including
gender-affirming care.

On a Personal Note
In my free time, I enjoy hiking and singing (sometimes
with a big jazz band!).

Patient Comments

[...] Referred to the PA Katie Licata for future assistance as she has been beyond wonderful in all my interactions with her.

Aug 22, 2024

My PA Katie was awesome and covered all concerns through blood work

Aug 21, 2024

[...] The NP and PA were fantastic.

Aug 19, 2024

Kate was AMAZING! I can literally not say enough good things about her. Kate took so much time to listen to me and all of my concerns and never made me feel like she was in a rush. Kate was recommended to me by my cousin, and I am SO happy I decided to see her. I have never had a doctor listen to me for so long and spend so much time with me. I feel like Kate actually cares about me and my well-being. I would recommend Kate to anyone.

However, we've had 3 great experiences with Katherine and are very happy to see her in the future. She is warm, easy going and moves the appointment along without being pushy which we love. Get in and do what's needed and move on with smiles.
