“Women’s health issues and the sheer joy of being involved in bringing a new life into the world led me to become an obstetrician/gynecologist.”

 

 

“One of the unique things about our practice is how closely we work together as physicians, moms and members of the larger McKinney community. In fact, I delivered Dr. Banks’ youngest son Ayden, and she delivered both of my children. Our respect and admiration for each other is significant to our practice philosophy.”

“I believe midwifery is about empowerment and advocacy for women. Women should be given options for birth and the resources and power to have the experience that they desire. I feel great honor and pride for being invited into a woman’s journey through her life, especially the transition from womanhood to motherhood.”

“From a young age, being a nurse is all I have ever wanted- and one of my greatest life achievements thus far. My passion and dedication run deep in caring for women from puberty to post-menopause. I am committed to providing evidence-based, individualized, and compassionate care to every patient.”

 

 

“I love helping people. It’s as simple as that. It extends into my life outside of work, but I really get a great deal of joy from helping women feel better and more confident about their own health.”

 

“I have known from a young age that I wanted to become a nurse in women’s health, as I couldn’t imagine anything else more rewarding. I am devoted to building trusting relationships with women, through open communication and education, so they are able to make educated decisions regarding their healthcare with confidence and ease.”
