“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.”

“Women’s health runs close to my heart. Working with women at different stages of their lives, caring for women during pregnancy and partnering with them to create a healthy mom and baby dynamic, advocating for them, and finding solutions together are some reasons why I love being an OBGYN.”

“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.”

“My passion is building lasting relationships with women and families by sharing knowledge to help empower women to make healthcare decisions that improve their lives. It is my greatest joy to be part of the moment when a woman first meets the child she brought into this world.”

“As a midwife, I feel there is no profession that is more rewarding than supporting and caring for women throughout their lifetime, especially the journey to motherhood. I am honored to be in a position that allows me to empower women while respecting the natural process of birth.”

 

 

“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.”
