A devoted obstetrician-gynecologist, Dr. Grounds is affiliated with Women’s Clinic of Johnson County, seeing patients at their offices in Merriam, and Olathe, Kansas.

“My goal is to provide compassionate and comprehensive medical care to women at all stages of life. I want to educate women so they can make meaningful and intelligent decisions about their bodies. I plan to grow and learn from my patients so I can continue to provide innovative healthcare” expressed Dr. Grounds.

Throughout her academic career, she has graduated with her medical degree from the University of Missouri School of Medicine. She then completed her residency in obstetrics and gynecology from the University of South Florida College of Medicine.

As a testament of her continued education, the doctor is board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG). The mission of the ABOG is to define standards, certify obstetricians and gynecologists, and facilitate continuous learning to advance knowledge, practice, and professionalism in women’s health.

Among her other roles, Dr. Grounds can be found on staff at Olathe Medical Center, and AdventHealth Shawnee Mission.

Obstetrics and gynecology (OB-GYN) is the medical specialty that encompasses the two subspecialties of obstetrics (covering pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period) and gynecology (covering the health of the female reproductive system – vagina, uterus, ovaries, and breasts).

In practice since 2002, Dr. Grounds has been the recipient of the Resident Research Award: Spontaneous Reduction of Multiple Gestation with In Vitro Fertilization, University of South Florida College of Medicine (2001), Patients’ Choice Award (2011, 2010, 2009), and Compassionate Doctor Recognition (2011, 2010).
