Katrina Wastlick uses words like, “thorough, confident, and personal” to describe her family

physician, Dr. Kay Balink from the Spring Green Medical Center. Four years ago, Wastlick

and her family moved here from the Madison area. Concerned about finding a quality doctor

for her children, she took advice from her mother-in-law’s friend.

 “We had always used

pediatricians in Madison,” Wastlick said. “I asked Dr. Balink if she had some time for me to

ask her some questions and that it might take a while. She said, ‘no problem’ and pulled up a

chair. She took time to answer my questions without rushing me.”

Wastlick said that she never saw her doctor during deliveries in Madison, where she had her

two oldest children, but said that Dr. Balink was there for both of my younger children from

the beginning. And, because Dr. Balink is a family physician, Wastlick says that her whole

family uses her as their primary physician. “She is really thorough and covers everything.

The kids all like her. She takes time to talk with each child, asking them how school is going

or joking about what’s in their ears,” Wastlick said. “For the kids, going to the doctor is an

adventure, thanks to Dr. Balink.”

“The best thing about going to the Spring Green Medical Center is the personal relationship

my whole family has with them all. Sandy (Dr. Balink’s assistant) and Dr. Balink are awesome,”

Wastlick said.

Grateful for the opportunity to care for patients in the area, Dr. Balink said, “We take very

seriously the privilege our patients give us of their trust to care for their health. Each individual

has unique needs that we strive to integrate toward their personnel health care goals.”
