Honor Your Care Team

Kara Thomas, M.S., CCC-SLP, CLC

Therapies (OT/PT/Speech/Assistive Technology)
Fairmount Campus

When our son was just 18 days old, we were overwhelmed by a lip and tongue tie release and the intense aftercare that followed. Kara became the steady guide we didn’t know we needed. With her expertise and advocacy, she helped turn feeding from a painful, frustrating experience into a meaningful and comfortable connection. Kara also supported me as a mother—easing my stress, building my confidence, and reminding me I was doing a great job. Thanks to her, our son is thriving with less reflux and more peaceful feeds. She didn’t just help our son—she helped our family find our footing.

"Dr. Cabahug is kind, patient, thoughtful, attentive, and resourceful. She spent the time necessary to adequately assess my complicated health situation and chronic pain. No physician has ever asked as many questions nor listened like she did. She made referrals, recommendations and educated. I am grateful that the KKI allows their doctors to practice medicine as it should be practiced. Thank you Dr. Cabahug for being the compassionate human."

"At age 65, I never thought I would run again, less complete in a race! I am continuing my PT and my strength, motion, and balance have all improved. Of course, I know that I will never be the same after the damage from the AVM in my spine, but Alison and the entire team at KKI have given me the confidence that I can still achieve."
