                      Dr. Alexis McCollum: From Young Science Student to OB/GYN

                      12/30/2017

                      McCollumThe sight of a father crying happy tears in the delivery room always hits Alexis McCollum, M.D., in the heart.

                      “That one will get you every time,” she says.

                      Dr. McCollum, board certified in obstetrics and gynecology, recently joined the active medical staff of Northwest Health, practicing at Willow Creek Women’s Clinic.

                      From a young age, she was very goal and task oriented, liked science and set her sights on working in the medical field. She thought at that time that she wanted to be a veterinarian.

                      “I’m deathly afraid of snakes, so that was out for me,” she says.

                      Dr. McCollum initially thought she wanted to be a pediatrician when she was in medical school. This changed during her third year rotation, when she decided she would rather be in the field of obstetrics and gynecology.

                      “I fell in love with it,” she says. “Nothing else compared.”

                      Dr. McCollum says the most important thing she can offer her patients is education on what is being done and why. She is a big proponent of women having autonomy over their own bodies, which is why it is important for her to help women arrive at the best decisions for themselves.

                      A lot of her work is focused around the delivery of babies and recovery. Dr. McCollum said it’s fulfilling to see real-time end results with her patients.

                      Dr. McCollum sees patients from the age of puberty and older. She treats routine and complex obstetric and gynecologic conditions including, prenatal care, pelvic pain, birth control, and abnormal bleeding.

                      Outside of work, Dr. McCollum enjoys spending time with her family. She and her husband have two daughters, four and six years old.

                      Dr. McCollum received her medical education at University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock, Ark. She then completed her obstetrics and gynecology residency at the university.

                      willow creek logoHer practice is located at 4301 Greathouse Springs Road, Suite 100 in Johnson, and she is currently accepting new patients. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call (479) 757-1730 or visit NW-Physicians.com.
