New OB/GYN joins Cox Monett Hospital

 Cox Monett Hospital is pleased to welcome Joanna Twombly, DO, a specialist in obstetrics and gynecology, to its health care team. She is now seeing patients at Family Practice and Obstetrics of Monett, 815 N. Lincoln Ave. in Monett. 

“We are so incredibly fortunate to have Dr. Twombly join our medical team,” said Darren Bass, president of Cox Monett. “It has been 10+ years since we have had a full-time OB/GYN in Monett, and the timing couldn’t have been more perfect as we prepare to move into our new hospital in early 2021.” 

Her areas of expertise include:

• General obstetrics and gynecology

• Contraceptive management

• IUD placement and removal

• NEXPLANON placement and removal

• Laparoscopic and vaginal hysterectomy

• Vaginal laxity repair

• Vaginal pessaries for treatment of urinary incontinence or prolapse

• Polycystic ovary syndrome

• Pelvic pain treatment

“I grew up part of my life in a small town, so I understand the many challenges facing women who want to seek specialty care,” said Dr. Twombly.  “I am very passionate about my work. I am honest, and I enjoy spending time with my patients.” 

Dr. Twombly attended medical school at Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine in Tulsa, Okla., and completed her residency at Saint Vincent Medical Center, Mercy Health in Toledo, Ohio. 

She is a member of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists; American Osteopathic Association; Society of OB/GYN Hospitalists; and fellow of the American College of Osteopathic Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
