Doctors in Gilbert, AZ

Alicia's road to women's health started in a surprising place, pediatric care for medically complex children. That early experience taught her the value of listening carefully, thinking holistically, and never rushing a patient through an appointment. She earned her nursing degree from Chamberlain College of Nursing and later completed her family nurse practitioner training at Grand Canyon University, building expertise across women's health, family practice, and pediatric care. At MomDoc's Mercy Gilbert office, Alicia combines that broad clinical foundation with a warm, approachable style that puts patients at ease. She is the kind of provider who makes time for the extra question and who remembers the details that matter.

Angel's journey into midwifery began on the other side of the world. She earned her nursing degree at the National University of Singapore and spent her early career as an OB/GYN nurse at Mount Elizabeth Hospital, one of Singapore's premier private hospitals. It was there, witnessing births and caring for women through some of the most transformative moments of their lives, that she knew she wanted to do more than assist, she wanted to lead that care. Angel moved to the United States and completed her Master of Science in Nursing with a Nurse Midwifery focus at the University of Colorado Denver, where she also earned a post-graduate certificate as a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner. That combination gives her an unusually broad clinical lens, spanning pregnancy and birth through family planning and well-woman care. Outside the exam room, Angel is a serious home cook and baker who experiments with cuisines from around the world. Her favorite undertaking? Preparing sea cucumber from scratch, a painstaking, multi-day process that she says is absolutely worth every hour. She brings that same patience and attention to detail to every patient she sees.

Before Angie ever set foot in a delivery room, she spent six years as a State Senator in South Dakota, advocating for underserved communities and learning, in a very different arena, what it means to show up for people during vulnerable moments. That chapter earned her the Harvey Milk Award from the White House in 2012, but it also planted a seed. After a decade in politics and nonprofit work, Angie pivoted to healthcare, starting with a psychology degree and then earning her nursing degree from Augustana University. She spent three years as a postpartum RN at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, where she served as charge nurse and preceptor, and another three years working with children and adolescents in an acute psychiatric facility in Sioux Falls. Each role deepened her conviction that the most meaningful care happens at the intersection of physical and emotional health. Angie completed her midwifery degree at Frontier Nursing University in 2022 and relocated to Arizona with her family. At MomDoc's Power office, she brings an uncommon combination of legislative advocacy, psychiatric insight, and clinical skill to her midwifery practice, the kind of background that makes her especially attuned to what her patients need, even when they are not sure how to ask for it.

Ashlee calls herself a true Arizona girl, but her path to MomDoc took a detour through Charlottesville, Virginia first. She played Division I softball at the University of Virginia on a full scholarship, earning her degree in American Studies before returning home to Arizona. The discipline and teamwork she learned as a college athlete carried right into her nursing career, she earned her BSN at Arizona State University and then jumped into some of the most high-pressure settings in medicine, working as an emergency room RN at Banner Desert Medical Center and in the cardiac cath lab at Southwest Cardiovascular Associates. But it was during her Family Nurse Practitioner training at Herzing University that everything came together. Ashlee rotated at MomDoc with Alicia Kimura, FNP, and within weeks knew that women's health was where she was meant to be. She brings the intensity of someone who has worked codes and cardiac emergencies, combined with the warmth and connection that women's health demands. That blend, calm under pressure, deeply relational, is what makes her a natural fit.

Dr. McDaniel grew up in Indiana and knew early on that she wanted a career where she could build real, lasting relationships with patients. After earning her biology degree from the University of Southern Indiana, she headed to Indiana University School of Medicine, then began residency at Case Western Reserve MetroHealth Medical Center in Ohio. She ultimately completed her OB/GYN training at the Sunrise Health GME Consortium in Las Vegas, where she was named Chief Resident and received the Award for Patient Care, an honor voted on by faculty and staff who saw her day in and day out. Throughout her training, Dr. McDaniel was drawn to leadership roles, serving on multiple committees that shaped how her residency program operated and how residents were supported. Her clinical interests center on robotic and minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, an area where she has published research on expanding resident participation. She is also deeply invested in colposcopy and cervical pathology, the kind of meticulous, detail-oriented work that can catch problems early and change outcomes. Dr. McDaniel brings that same precision and care to every patient encounter at MomDoc.

Dr. Flores is the first physician in her family, a fact that still carries weight for her every time she walks into an exam room. Growing up in Puerto Rico, she was drawn to science early and earned her undergraduate degree at the University of Puerto Rico at Cayey, where she also conducted research at the NIH Laboratory of Molecular Biology. She went on to medical school at Ponce Health Sciences University and completed her OB/GYN residency at Hospital Episcopal San Lucas, where she developed a particular focus on high-risk pregnancy and preterm labor management. Her research comparing antibiotic regimens for pregnant women with PPROM earned first place at the program's annual research symposium. But what sets Dr. Flores apart is the thread of service that runs through everything she does. In Puerto Rico, she founded LUAF, a community service group that partnered with the American Red Cross, and she was on the ground during hurricane relief efforts across the island. Her recent move to Arizona is the beginning of a new chapter, but the mission hasn't changed: bring the same determination and community-first mindset to the women she cares for at MomDoc.

Dr. Andres knew early on that she wanted medicine to be about more than a single exam room. At the University of Arizona, she double-majored in Molecular and Cellular Biology and Physiology while picking up a minor in Spanish, already thinking about the communities she hoped to serve. Medical school at the University of Nevada deepened that commitment through a scholarly concentration in Global Health, and international volunteer work in Nicaragua showed her what healthcare looks like when resources are scarce and creativity matters. She completed her OB/GYN residency at St. Francis Hospital in Connecticut, where she stepped into leadership roles with ACOG and continued mentoring students and peers. Dr. Andres is also a Clinical Skills Instructor, a chapter leader for the Asian Pacific American Medical Student Association, and someone who writes and develops a podcast on the history of OB/GYN. She brings all of that energy to MomDoc, where she practices with a global perspective and a belief that every patient deserves a provider who sees the full picture.

Dr. Williams grew up in Philadelphia and has lived most of her adult life in the South. A lifetime runner, she headed to the University of Alabama on a Track and Field scholarship to study microbiology, then earned her medical degree at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, where she served on the Admissions Committee and the UVA Honors Committee. She completed her OB/GYN residency at UVA, serving as Chief Resident in her final year. Running has been a constant thread through her life, she has finished both the Boston and New York marathons and is married to an Olympic Gold Medalist from the 1976 Montreal relay. Music runs deep, too: her father is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, her brother DJ'd with Will Smith back in Philadelphia, and her son is a director at Capitol Records. Alabama football, she will tell you, is a true addiction. Roll Tide. Dr. Williams brings that same energy to her community work, volunteering at the Open Door Clinic, coaching with Track Xplosion, and serving on the board of The Healing Place. At MomDoc's Power office, she is the rare physician whose life outside medicine is as full-throttle as her life inside it, and her patients feel that vitality in every visit.

Jamie was born and raised in Las Vegas, and her motto, "what you do is less important than who you do it with," says a lot about the way she practices. Women's health runs in the family: her grandfather was an OB/GYN, and multiple family members work in the field. She earned her degree in Exercise Science from Brigham Young University and completed her PA training at Idaho State University, where her thesis focused on ectopic pregnancy. During her OB/GYN rotation, she dove in headfirst, performing dozens of gynecological exams, attending more than seventy prenatal visits, and assisting in deliveries and laparoscopic surgeries. That rotation confirmed what she had felt since growing up around family conversations about women's health: this was her field. Jamie brings warmth, clinical confidence, and a family legacy of caring for women to MomDoc's Mercy Gilbert office.

Melissa grew up in La Verne, California, a small town tucked into Los Angeles County, and headed to Southern Illinois University Edwardsville to study biology. It was a Women's Studies minor that changed her trajectory, those classes opened her eyes to the gaps in how women's health was delivered and sparked her curiosity about midwifery. She detoured first into medical research, working on an endometrial cancer project at Washington University in St. Louis, but the pull toward hands-on patient care was too strong. Melissa earned her nursing and midwifery degrees at Vanderbilt, where clinical rotations at the university medical center confirmed what she already knew: she belonged in the birth room. Her training at military hospitals including Fort Campbell and Fort Bragg gave her experience across the full spectrum of obstetric care. At MomDoc's Gilbert office, Melissa also offers IUI treatment for patients navigating fertility, drawing on her research-minded background to guide families through one of the most hopeful, and sometimes daunting, journeys of their lives.

Terri's career spans more than three decades, and the breadth of it tells you something about how she practices: she has never stopped learning. Before women's health, there was pediatric nursing in Dallas, where she earned Pediatric Nurse of the Year honors and climbed to expert-level clinical status. Before that, there was neonatal intensive care, radiation oncology, and surgical nursing, each chapter adding another layer to her understanding of the female body across every stage of life. When Terri completed her graduate nurse practitioner program at Arizona State University, she brought all of that accumulated knowledge with her, logging clinical hours across high-risk obstetric offices and gynecological practices. Today, she has built a particular expertise in hormone replacement therapies, including bio-identical, compounded, and pellet approaches, a niche that demands both precision and the patience to listen carefully to what each patient is experiencing. What patients notice first about Terri is her directness. She is warm, often funny, and refreshingly honest. After 30-plus years at the bedside, she has little use for vague reassurances; she would rather give you the real picture and help you decide what comes next.
