Meet the Providers of Adriatica Women’s Health — Doctors and Midwives

“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.”

“My joy comes from working with patients and helping them to understand the complexity of their condition or procedure. I enjoy working with patients to achieve their goals and becoming a true partner in their healthcare needs and decisions.”

“The special issues that women face throughout their lives are what drew me to OB/GYN. Partnering with and advocating for my patients is a unique role that invigorates me every day.”

“I feel that ALL women should have a healthcare provider that listens to them, understands their needs, and is a partner in helping them become the healthiest version of self possible. That is why I became an OB/GYN.”

“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 puberty through menopause, I am truly blessed to partner with women and their families by listening and providing education, guidance, and counseling to help every woman achieve optimal health and wellness.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Women’s overall health and wellness drive my passion to provide and promote the utmost care to those I serve. It is an honor serving a population that is always giving to others. I love helping women take an active role in their health care.”
