“I was born and raised in Sioux City. I attended both Heelan High School and Briar Cliff University. I am very excited to come back home after completing my training. Sioux City is my home, and I couldn’t imagine raising my kids anywhere else.”
Dr. Kazos wanted to be a physician from the moment she started her first college job as a phlebotomist. She has three children and enjoys spending time with her family.
“Being a mother is the best thing that ever happened to me. I love being a mom! It has taught me patience, understanding and helps me stay grounded. Motherhood also allows me to better relate to my patients because we all experience similar highs and lows of parenthood.”
