“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.”

“Birth, and options involving birth, are as individual and unique as women are. I am blessed to have the opportunity to work together with women and families to provide both exceptional obstetrical care and to help create the birth experience they desire.”

“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.”

 

 

“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.”
