Having the opportunity to educate patients about their skin is one of Kate's favorite parts of being a dermatology Nurse Practitioner.

Kate is a native Nashvillian who graduated from Harding Academy and the Harpeth Hall School.  In 2002, she received her BS in Nursing from Auburn University.  Kate has RN experience in a variety of specialty areas, including Post-Op Recovery, Labor and Delivery, and Mohs Micrographic Surgery (skin cancer removal). In December 2010, she graduated from Vanderbilt University’s School of Nursing with an MSN degree in the specialty areas of both Women’s Health and Adult Health Nurse Practitioner.  She has worked in dermatology for the past four years and is a member of The National Academy of Dermatology Nurse Practitioners.

Kate is married to Jonathan Meriwether, a physician assistant with Tennessee Orthopedic Alliance: they have a daughter and a son.  In her free time, Kate enjoys spending time outside with her family, including their 120 pound pig Wilbur.  Kate also enjoys exercising for fitness, playing tennis, volunteering at her children’s schools, and spending time with her friends.  She is also involved in the Junior League of Nashville and St. George’s Church.

Kate has had a passion for skin since her time spent in dermatology as an RN. Having the opportunity to educate patients about their skin is one of her favorite parts of being a Nurse Practitioner.  Whether it be prevention and treatment of teenage acne or discussing the pros and cons of various cosmetic procedures, Kate thinks it’s important for patients to make informed decisions related to their care.  When patients are educated, they naturally become more involved and invested in the treatment plan, which results in even better outcomes.

Kate specializes in medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology.  She has extensive training in a number of aesthetic procedures from BOTOX® and fillers to lasers and radio frequency devices.  Kate is currently accepting new patients and cannot wait to meet you!

Kate Meriwether only sees patients 13 years and older.
