4.8Time with Patient
The Patient Rating score is an average of all responses to physician related questions on our nationally-recognized Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score. Comments also are gathered from this Patient Satisfaction Survey. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy. The comments are submitted by patients and reflect their views and opinions. The comments are not endorsed by and don’t necessarily reflect the views of Kaiser Permanente.
I was born in Georgia but grew up mostly overseas in Italy and Denmark and completed my undergraduate degree in England. After a year of AmeriCorps volunteering in Washington state, I fell in love with the Pacific Northwest. I went back to Georgia for prerequisites and medical school, then completed residency (and got married!) in southern Colorado. I am now very happy to call Oregon home.
About my practice
Like most physicians who are drawn to family medicine, I am passionate about preventive medicine. I love to work with patients of all ages, but I must admit that I particularly enjoy prenatal care and working with kids (yes, even teenagers). Coming from an English literature undergraduate degree, I consider each patient’s story and strive to use that to enhance compassion in my practice. I believe that the more a patient and doctor collaborate on a mutual plan for health, the better the outcome. I believe in making small, sustainable changes for better health.
How I thrive
I love to hang out with my husband and my dog. These days I read more than I write, but I have dreams of one day writing a book. I enjoy cooking and baking up a storm. I am a huge fan of joyful movement every day, and take part in many forms of activity including but not limited to hiking, walking, running, dancing, skiing, and spinning. I also dabble in drawing, painting, jewelry-making, sculpture, and whatever other craft strikes my fancy. I play dress-up most days and have a pretty impressive collection of earrings. Last, but definitely not least, I love to connect with my family and friends.
Very easy to talk with. Explained to me regarding what I was concerned about and this was very helpful for me. She listened. That to me is the most important thing. I came out of there feeling more confident in myself regarding my health. This was my 1st visit.

*Dr. Fite was amazing! So calm, informative, and such a good listener. Liked the way she listened and answered my concerns so much, I asked if she would be my primary care. Have been very pleased and follow through. So glad she's on the Kaiser team!
