Before joining Vance Thompson Vision, Kayla spent more than ten years practicing in the St. Cloud area. Through her work in primary care and surgical assisting, she developed a deep appreciation for the value of building solid, trusting relationships with each patient she treats. Her work continues to be guided by a firm belief in the value of relationships, and she’s grateful for the emphasis Vance Thompson Vision puts on talking with patients about their goals and tailoring treatments to meet them.
A native Minnesotan, Kayla and her husband are proud parents to two children who are committed to enjoying the diverse Minnesota seasons. Snowshoeing, gardening, and tapping their maple trees are some of Kayla’s favorite family activities, along with reading a good suspense novel.
