Meet Dr. Shanna M. Combs

She has continued her practice in Fort Worth, Texas, as an Obstetrician and Gynecologist since 2012. She has always enjoyed taking care of young patients in her practice and she happily made the transition to Cook Children's in 2021 to be able to provide care to young ladies full time.
Dr. Combs enjoys teaching and has worked in medical education since completing her residency. She works as a preceptor and research mentor to medical students and is an Assistant Professor in Obstetrics and Gynecology for the TCU School of Medicine as well as the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine.
Dr. Combs is happy to call Fort Worth home after many years of being an Air Force daughter and moving around.
