I look forward to forming relationships with my patients and their caregivers so that we, as a team, can determine the best way to promote health in each individual child. I also enjoy passing on what I have learned through medical teaching.
I am a board-certified general pediatrician and a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics. My practice is dedicated to the care of children from birth until adulthood, focusing on both their physical and mental health. I have particular interests in breastfeeding support and preventative care for children of all ages and abilities, including coordination of care for patients with complex medical issues. I have experience working in both private and hospital-based practices during my 25 years in this field. I have been heavily involved in continuing medical education as well as office emergency preparedness.
Outside of work, I enjoy camping and traveling with my family, including my grown children and grandchildren.

“My daughter's lymph node is swollen and has been since April. I was concerned that it was still present and the doctor made me feel valid and understood why I was concerned but then reassured me that my daughter is doing very well and because she is petite it may still be visible to us. She also ordered blood work for piece of mind and gave us information for places trained specifically for young children. She is a saint and we love having her as our daughter's pediatrician! Having our first pediatrician be less understanding or warm was a challenge especially since our daughter was 3 months premature. We just fully appreciate how wonderful and professional Dr. Koelher is!”

The Patient Satisfaction Rating is an average of all responses to the care provider related questions from our
nationally recognized Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. Patients that are treated in outpatient or hospital environments may receive different surveys, and the volume of responses will vary by question.
Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score.
The comments are submitted by patients and reflect their views and opinions. The comments are not endorsed by and do
not necessarily reflect the views of St. Luke’s University Health Network.
“Dr. Kohler is wonderful. She is respectful, thorough, and responsive. She follows up personally on tests and is so easy to get a hold of with questions and concerns.”
