I strongly recommend fully vaccinating kids against preventable diseases on the schedule approved by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). I do not support nonmedical vaccine exemptions.
Children continually remind me how precious and fascinating life really is. Watching their eyes light up in amazement after seeing, hearing, or learning something new inspires me to approach everything in life with passion and curiosity.
I enjoy working with families and being their go-to resource when they are in need of guidance and care. Above all, I hope to educate families and help prevent disease and other health issues. I find tremendous joy in getting to know families and watching my patients grow up."
– Katherine Hyde, MDFrom a very young age, Dr. Hyde pictured herself wearing a white coat and stethoscope one day. Although she always knew she wanted to be a doctor, she was uncertain what type. Three years into medical school, after sampling various specialties through rotations, she found her place in the medical world. Captivated by kids’ variability at all different ages and stages, she fell for pediatrics.
Children constantly remind Dr. Hyde to cherish life and revel in its amazingness! She recalls the first time she lent her stethoscope to a pediatric patient so she could listen to her own heart and lungs. Upon hearing her heartbeat, the girl’s expression transformed into sheer wonder and delight! This interaction and so many others inspire Dr. Hyde to approach everything she does with “childlike” intrigue and enthusiasm. Kids have taught her to see the world as they do, and she now finds beauty and splendor in the smallest things.
As a pediatrician, Dr. Hyde welcomes the opportunity to share information and encourage prevention. She loves that families depend on her in times of need, but also values working together to keep kids healthy. Getting to know families and being involved in their lives is the highlight of every day. Clinical skills include performing circumcisions as well as placing and removing Nexplanon implants.
An adventurous spirit, Dr. Hyde loves exploring the great outdoors on foot or skis. She is also an avid camper. At home, she enjoys experimenting in the kitchen, turning out tasty meals and baked goods, or practicing her woodworking skills. When she needs to clear her mind, she indulges in yoga or goes for a run. Above all, her favorite thing to do is spend time with friends, family, and her furbaby – a polydactyl cat. She swears he can jump higher because of the extra digit (toe) on each of his paws!
"We’ve been seeing Dr Katharine Hyde over 3 years now. She is amazing and always takes time to listen to any concerns. Very detail oriented, prompt and compassionate. Even the front desk staff is quite helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend this place."
– Sonam M."Dr. Hyde takes the time to discuss developmental and emotional concerns with parents. She has built a trusting relationship with my kids by speaking with intellect and compassion. She shares her knowledge in a way that both kids and parents understand. I am so thankful to have a caring pediatrician, who goes beyond the allotted appointment time and is a partner in raising our family."
– Melissa S."Dr. Hyde is amazing we drive 25+ minutes to see her!! We couldn’t imagine switching after we moved and she always makes the drive worth it with how amazing she is with our kids. She has now taken care of two of our kids and she is the most attentive, detail oriented, gentle and reassuring doctor. The front office has always been super helpful and patient as well!"
– Meeja S."We see Dr. Hyde and we absolutely adore her. She is a wonderful doctor. She is always very easy to talk to and never talks down to us. The nurses are also very friendly and professional. The office staff is always friendly and efficient. We have never waited more then 5 minutes in the waiting room before getting in with the nurse and doctor."
– Lisa B."Kathrine Hyde is the best pediatrician my kids have ever had. After a few that didn’t work out we ended up at OHSU where she was finishing up her residency. I followed her to Metro Peds and I’ve been satisfied with every visit. She is caring, understanding and is very informative when you have questions. I highly recommend her!!"
– Layla H."We have been visiting Meteopolitan Pediatrics for almost 2 years now, and everyone is professional and very accommodating to schedule an appointment. I really appreciate that they have a staff of Pediatricians so if your Dr. is not available, someone else can typically see your child the same day as requested. They also offer weekend hours because we all know when having a child, that is a must. Dr. Katherine Hyde (previously Katherine Cotterell) is fantastic! She is pleasant, professional, and takes the time to get to know them. Both of my kids enjoy their visits with her. We appreciate her caring nature, and she is by far the best Pediatrician we have experienced so far. I highly recommend Dr. Hyde and we are so glad to have her assistance with our kids."
– Julie C."I called over the weekend with concerns about my LO. The advice nurse called me back almost immediately and recommended I come in the next day. She was able to get me an appointment with my pediatrician because of their flexible schedule and later hours. They took some labs and my physician was off the following day and took the time to follow up with me regarding labs. I was amazed at how much she cared. She walked me through everything, gave us a gameplan based on different scenarios and showed me how much she truly cared about my LO. Best pediatrician ever! Dr. Cotterell I appreciate you!"
