Kristina Thissen, PA-C

Board-Certified Physician’s Assistant

Kristina joined the team at Harrington + Associates Plastic Surgery in 2013. She began her career in a family medicine setting. This soon allowed her to realize her passion for health and wellness. Her focus on holistic patient care makes her a compassionate listener as she strives to gain an understanding of the concerns and challenges that each individual faces.

Kristina received her Master of Medical Science in Physician Assistant Studies from Union College in Lincoln, Nebraska, and her Bachelor of Science in Business Management and Biology at the University of Minnesota. She is also a member of the American Academy of Physician Assistants (AAPA), American Association of Surgical Physician Assistants (AASPA), and Minnesota Academy of Physician Assistants (MAPA).

Kristina has prioritized advancing her education and experience in hormone balancing, weight loss programs and a range of cosmetic treatments, including nonsurgical treatments such as injectable dermal fillers, BOTOX® and Dysport®. In her years of experience at Harrington + Associates Plastic Surgery, she has become experienced at administering nonsurgical body sculpting treatments such as CoolSculpting® and Cellfina™.

Outside of work, Kristina enjoys spending time with her husband and daughters, vacationing at the lake during summer months and traveling to warm destinations in the winter. She stays active with yoga, running and golf.
