 Dr.
Jacqueline Mahan
Obstetrics
& Gynecology
After growing up in
Richfield, Jacqueline Mahan decided to stay
around town to attend the College of St. Thomas
in St. Paul. While Jackie originally planned
to study business, she realized early on that
she was far more intrigued by the inner workings
of the human body than by the inner workings
of a company. After earning a bachelor’s
degree in biology, with a minor in mathematics,
Jackie attended the University of Minnesota
Medical School for her medical degree and
her OB-GYN residency. She was a classmate
of Dr. Sam Arnold, another member of CHCW.
Dr. Mahan is certified by the American Board
of Obstetrics & Gynecology.
Dr.
Mahan enjoys everything about OB-GYN, especially
the balance and variety that her office
practice, deliveries and procedures provide.
Her special interests include normal and
complicated obstetrics, infertility, menstrual
disorders, gynecologic procedure and preventive
health care for women. She credits her husband,
Brian, with his patience of the hectic schedule
she keeps as an OB-GYN physician and his
“unique understanding of how important
my patients are to me. I’m extraordinarily
lucky,” she says with a smile.
But,
as Jackie’s patients know, luck works
both ways. “I’m a great listener,”
says Jackie. “I think I have a natural
ability to establish open and comfortable
relationships with my patients. I really
enjoy discussing health and wellness concerns
with women.”
Jackie
and Brian live in Woodbury with their three
younger children: Natalya, Garrett and Alec.
Brian and the three kids make time to kick
their way to black belts in Tae Kwon Do.
As a family, they enjoy outings to amusement
parks, zoos, waterparks, lake resorts and
other outdoor activities. But, hands down,
their favorite destination is Disneyworld.
Jackie also enjoys unwinding with a good
book, going shopping, or trying her hand
at arts and crafts with the kids. Every
once in a while, she’ll take a break
from the hectic pace of her practice and
family with a quiet evening at home, watching
a movie and eating any kind of treat –
as long as it’s chocolate. |
