Doreen "Maggie" McEvoy, MD, is a board-certified physician specializing in family medicine.
Hometown: Coggon, Iowa
What is your practice philosophy? To treat my patients as I would like to be treated; with respect, mutual understanding, and looking at the whole person rather than focusing solely on a disease process.
What are you passionate about? I think it is critical that healthcare is delivered by a cohesive team of caring people. Patients and healthcare workers all have unique skills and experiences. Healthcare can be complicated, but we get the best results when everyone works together as a functional team.
If you weren't a provider, what would you be? An IT geek or luggage designer.
When did you know this was the career for you? I have known since childhood that I wanted to be a physician. Our family had a great female family medicine physician who was a terrific role model for me. She was intelligent, kind, and compassionate.
What is something you have learned from your patients? Ask questions, then LISTEN. Most patients have a theory about their symptoms they would like to discuss, but are sometimes hesitant to talk about it unless they are encouraged to name their concern.
What is your personal health goal? Get to and maintain a healthy BMI, eat healthier, stay physically active, and get adequate sleep.
What is the best thing you've done for your health? Eat my veggies. They fill me up before I opt to snack on carbs or salty foods, and help to prevent emotional eating.
