Meet Dr. Rowland
Dr. Kathryn Rowland is a pediatric surgeon specializing in minimally invasive techniques applied across the breadth of pediatric general surgery.
She has expertise providing pediatric cancer care and treating congenital lesions, anorectal malformations, and intestinal and midgut conditions.
Dr. Rowland earned her medical degree from WashU Medicine. She also completed general surgery residency training at WashU Medicine and a pediatric surgery fellowship at Oregon Health and Sciences University.
