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.
