Kimberly Anne Mccarty, PA-C

Taking care of others has always been something Aleyda took pride in. During her first pregnancy, she realized how amazing the human body was and knew that she wanted to care for pregnant people and help them through their own labor and birthing experiences. Aleyda loves providing care for people she’s gotten to know over the years while also still meeting new people all the time. What she enjoys most about being a midwife is being a part of the labor and delivery of a baby. She also has a passion for helping people who are struggling with depression and anxiety.

Ashley has always been interested in healthcare since a young age and knew she wanted to become a healthcare provider so that she could make a positive impact on someone's life. She credits her mother as being her biggest influence as her mother has shown her the importance of hard work and dedication as well as compassion. Ashley has a special interest in venous disease. She spends all of her free time with her husband and three children. When treating a patient, I treat the whole patient - not just a condition. I make sure the patient's social and emotional needs are addressed as well in addition to their physical ailments.
