Kara Fontana, DO

Dr. Kara Fontana grew up in Warrenville, Illinois, and attended UW–Madison for her undergraduate degree in biology and music performance (harp). She chose pediatrics because she is passionate about serving children and their families and working with them to achieve their health goals. She is particularly interested in complex care and rural health. Outside of medicine, she enjoys reading, swimming, knitting, and spending time with friends and family!

Why Madison?

“I completed my undergrad at the UW and had a fantastic experience! I chose the UW’s residency program because of the welcoming environment and its commitment to patients. I am so excited to be coming back to Madison!”
