Professional Staff
KOC has assembled a highly trained staff of physicians and allied medical personnel. Based on the broad range of programs being offered and the need for integration of patient care between the various departments, the clinic is required to maintain an elite staff.
As well as on-going education in the clinic, staff members are encouraged and supported in their pursuit of additional accreditation and knowledge. Many staff members are concurrently active members and leaders in the associations related to their field of expertise.
