With a vision for building something meaningful, Nightingale Dermatology’s owner brings a blend of compassionate care and hands-on experience. Founder, owner, and clinician, NP Katie Hayes has over a decade of experience providing care as a trained dermatology nurse practitioner. She started her career at Madigan Army Medical Center at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, training exclusively within the Dermatology Clinic, where she had the unique opportunity to learn from multiple different dermatologists in a very structured setting. This allowed her the ability to hone her skills and expertise without the pressure of private practice.

After 5 years working for the military health system, NP Hayes joined with a local private practice, where she continued to provide expert care within the field of dermatology. For the next 5 years, she saw high patient volume and increased complexity of cases, which allowed her the opportunity to continue to learn and grow within her field of passion.

Katie has always loved connecting with her patients. She founded Nightingale Dermatology as a way to continue to grow her love of caring with compassion within the field of dermatology, and to provide that care in a unique, relaxed setting.

Whether it is a difficult rash that needs a thorough workup, a long standing concern of acne, a new spot of concern, or a routine skin check, Katie thoroughly enjoys collaborating and assisting her patients with their medical skin health concerns and needs.
