Shannon Ramey, DNP, CNM

OB/GYN

As a Certified Nurse Midwife and Advanced Practice Registered Nurse, I’m honored to care for women across every stage of life. I’m also a proud wife and mother of four, which brings personal meaning to the work I do every day.

My journey in healthcare began after attending college in Lexington, Kentucky, before returning to my hometown of Abingdon, Virginia. Over the years, I’ve earned four degrees: an Associate of Science in Nursing, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, a Master of Science in Nursing with a specialization in Nurse Midwifery, and a Doctorate of Nursing Practice.

Before stepping into my role as a midwife, I had the privilege of working in a variety of nursing roles that helped shape my approach to patient care. My own experiences as both a mother and an obstetric nurse deepened my passion for women’s health and led me to pursue a career focused on obstetrics and gynecology.

The word “midwife” means “with woman,” and that philosophy guides every aspect of my practice. I provide care that centers on supporting and empowering women—whether through routine gynecologic visits, pregnancy and childbirth, postpartum care, or breastfeeding support. I believe in creating a space where women feel heard, supported, and actively involved in their healthcare decisions.

Outside of work, I embrace the beautiful chaos of family life. My husband and I stay busy cheering on our four children in baseball, softball, basketball, football, gymnastics, and cheerleading. We also love camping, crafting, and listening to music together. I’m grateful every day for the opportunity to serve the women in our community with compassion, clinical excellence, and a deep sense of purpose.
