Biography
I am a board-certified nurse practitioner with the Division of Colon and Rectal Surgery at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I care for patients with anorectal issues including hemorrhoids, anal fissures and rectal prolapse. I also specialize in treating pelvic floor disorders such as chronic constipation and fecal incontinence.
These types of medical conditions can cause significant distress, and it’s common for people to feel shy about discussing them. My patients can trust that I will do everything possible to make them feel as comfortable as possible. I have a genuine interest in helping others and I always strive to make my patients feel seen, heard and empowered.
My patients can rely on me as a supportive partner. I am proud to be available to respond to patients' questions and concerns promptly. I truly enjoy what I do and as my father always told me growing up, "If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life.'
I began my health care career as a nurse at The James in Surgical Oncology, and I credit that fast-paced environment and diverse patient population with helping me learn and grow as a health care provider and as a person. In my time here at Ohio State, I’ve had the opportunity to work with multidisciplinary teams and form relationships with faculty and staff across various specialties. I am incredibly passionate about learning and often joke that if I could be in school for the rest of my life, I gladly would.
Outside of work, I have two dogs that are my world, Dot and Willow. I also enjoy spending time with friends and cheering on the Ohio State football team and the 2023 World Series Champion Texas Rangers.

My provider was absolutely amazing! She made a not so fun appointment so much better. She was personable, kind, and so empathetic. I think that shows a lot about her character. I'm sure she sees my issues all the time, but I never felt brushed off or not heard. I cannot say enough good things about her!

Good
Kind and attentive
Good listened, caring intelligent
Very knowledgeable, approachable, explained clinical issues at an appropriate educational level. Handled a sensitive topic with great professionalism.
They were timely, that was good. The bad was the appointment in general. It was a waste and of time my primary care physician told me exactly what the NP told me. No new information. Just a waste of time and money.
Very good experience with CNP K Becher. Felt very comfortable with her. She was very professional and attentive. She got me asap due to the pain I was in. She responded back very quickly on a phone call to her.
Katie was very caring and explained things in a way the could be understood.
Although she was a CNP, she was better, more thorough and responsive than any provider (including drs) that I have ever seen.
Took time to listen and understand the issue. Asked lots of questions that other providers had not when addressing the same issues which help give better picture of what the problem is. Gave clear information about the problem and what the solution might be.
Dr. Becher was incredibly empathetic and energetic. She made the experience (which was quite personal) feel less intimidating than it could have been.
Dr. Becher is a gem!
She handled a sensitive health concern with kindness & respect & clearly explained treatment options.
