“It’s gratifying to establish relationships
with patients and their families, and
following up with their care.”
Dr. Kristin Cutlan said she decided to be a pediatrician after going through a pediatrics rotation in medical school.
“I like the honesty of children, which I find refreshing, and I like their energy and sense of happiness,” she said. “Pediatrics is a fun place to work and I really try to make the doctor visits and hospital stays less frightening.”
She also likes helping children avoid health problems by concentrating on important health care milestones such as well-child visits, examinations and immunizations.
She earned her medical degree at the Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. She completed her residency at the University of Michigan Medical Center, Ann Arbor. She is board-certified in pediatrics.
Dr. Cutlan said that practicing at Marshfield Clinic Health System gives her the opportunity to treat a wide range of cases, from routine to complex. “One of the advantages of being here is that there are so many resources at your fingertips,” she pointed out. The Clinic was also conveniently located in a smaller community in the same state as her parents, in Cuba City in southwest Wisconsin, and her husband’s parents in Manitowoc.
She and her husband, Dr. Jonathan Cutlan of the Clinic’s Lab-Pathology department, have two children. She enjoys gardening, hiking, walking, bicycling and simply enjoying her young children.
