Dr. Kilpatrick joined VEG in 2023 as an ER doctor before becoming the Medical Director of VEG Naperville. Her favorite part of emergency medicine is seeing a variety of cases, especially foreign body surgeries “because you never know what you will find!” She lives in Illinois, outside of Chicago, with her husband and two children. She spends her time supporting her kids’ various activities and hanging out with family and friends. Dr. Kilpatrick really enjoys helping people and their pets when they need it most!
