ABOUT MOBILE ANESTHESIA CARE

Cassie Dietrich, MD, is the Medical Director & Chief of Mobile Anesthesia Care and has thoroughly enjoyed focusing her practice on office-based anesthesiology (OBA). After completing her anesthesiology residency at the Mayo Clinic, she worked in a busy community hospital in Tucson, AZ. It was there that she developed the OBA department for her private practice group. She returned to the Kansas City area in 2014, where she was excited to join MAC and help it grow into the region’s premier group of office-based physician anesthesiologists specializing in high quality of care for pediatric and adult patients.

Dr. Dietrich values the importance of advocating for the specialty of anesthesia and dedicates her time to several organizations on the national and state levels.

Kathryn Weesner, M.D. is Director of Pediatric Office-Based Anesthesia, Chief Medical Officer, and a founding member of Mobile Anesthesia Care (MAC).  She has personally cared for over four thousand pediatric and adult patients in the office-based setting, where focus on patient safety, quality of care, and patient/client satisfaction are paramount.  

Her level of skill and expertise has been instrumental in spearheading tremendous expansion of clinical services to new clients and markets.

Dr. Weesner is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the College of William and Mary and completed her medical degree at the Medical College of Virginia, where she was elected to Alpha Omega Alpha.

Mindy Brown, M.D. has been an anesthesiologist for over 25 years with a majority of her years spent caring for patients at Children’s Mercy Hospital (CMH). While at CMH she served as Vice Chairman of the department; Chairman of the Staffing Committee: GI and Spine team liaison; and cardiac, complex spine and transplant team member. After creating and managing the call schedule for years she also worked closely with a software company to create and implement a unique cloud-based call scheduling solution for the department.

Dr. Brown is a more recent addition to MAC and is thoroughly enjoying the atmosphere and challenges of Office Based Anesthesia. When away from the procedure room she enjoys cycling, hiking, and pickleball, and has appreciated the opportunity to serve on the Midwest Region Advisory Board for Pastor Serve.

Carrie Clarke, M.D. is the newest pediatric anesthesiologist to join the Mobile Anesthesia Care team after serving over 15 years at Children’s Mercy Hospital (CMH). During Dr. Clarke’s time at CMH, she served in various leadership roles including Vice-Chair of the Department of Anesthesiology, Director of Liver and Kidney Transplant Anesthesia and Chair of Professional Practice Committee for the Department of Anesthesiology. Additionally, Dr. Clarke served as a member of the Cardiac Anesthesia team for more than a decade. During that time, she focused much of her practice on caring for critically ill children with congenital heart disease.

Outside of pediatric anesthesia, Dr. Clarke enjoys spending time with her husband and two daughters. She particularly enjoys time spent outdoors or watching Duke basketball.
