What We Offer

We are skilled in the newest state-of-the-art procedures to make our patients feel as comfortable as possible. Our Da Vinci Hysterectomy was introduced to help reduce the amount of scar tissue and blood loss that comes with a conventional hysterectomy. We also regularly implement Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy to help balance out the hormone dysfunction that comes with pregnancy and menopause.

  • I have been getting treated for an issue I’ve been having for a couple months that my doctor couldn’t seem to figure out, and all I have to say is that the nurse practitioner Shannon has been nothing but helpful. She’s very personable and tries her very hardest to make you feel as comfortable as possible. She is amazing.

  • I was trying to edit my last review but i can’t! But i forgot to mention in the post how awesome Munro is as well! He was suppose to be out of town when i had my last baby & i was very upset the morning i went into labor thinking someone else was going to deliver. They called the on call dr & the next thing i knew here comes Munro. He told me he wasn’t leaving until the baby was born. I was so happy!! I can’t imagine going anywhere else. Munro is straight forward and tells it like it is. Him and Shannon both make it seem like they are some of your good friends. LOVE THIS OBGYN!!

  • I love this place! Bobby is amazing and always remembers who I am. Shannon Bennett is so bubbly and sweet and truly cares about her patients. All the nurses are amazing and knowledgeable and Dr Munro is an awesome doctor. He knows what he is talking about and made me feel so calm during and after my C Section. I will be going here for all my OB needs from now on.

  • Amazing office, LOVE Shannon and everyone else is amazing as well. Have used them for 2 of my pregnancies and haven’t had any issues compared to the terrible experiences i received at my old OB.

  • I was having major issues. I didn’t have a doctor (as I don’t get sick) I went directly to my husbands doctor to fill out a ‘new patient’ form, only to be told that ‘she isn’t taking new patients’.

    After a little discussion I left and went home to make phone calls. I called several offices. I finally spoke with Bobbi. She bent over backwards to research some old records from a procedure I had done through Mercy several years ago.She called me back. I made an appointment.

    And in less than a month, I had life saving surgery from Dr Munro.

    What a great Doctor! No woman wants to have a Pap smear.

    Dr Munro ‘Barney’ made me feel very comfortable and throughout both surgeries. Since then, I return every three months for follow up visits

    I truly feel that Barney is a friend and I (we, my husband and I) trust him completely.

    I’ve even referred a friend to him and she feels the same about his terrific bedside manner

    Thank you Barney, Shannon and especially Bobbi for getting me in for that first appointment!
