Our Doctors
Miriam Mackovic-Basic
M.D., Ph.D., FACOG, OB/GYN, Medical Director
As women, we have concerns and conditions that are unique. Maybe this is why I seem to connect with my patients so naturally. I will spend as much time as needed answering all your questions and addressing your every concern. That’s why I'm here- to practice medicine, of course, but also to be your sounding board and information resource, as well as give you the peace of mind you need. As a woman and a mother, I know you need real information about your health. You'll get all the honesty, knowledge and compassion I have to give.
Understanding your individual needs
I always wanted to be a doctor. My uncle was an internist and my aunt was a midwife. So I grew up in a family of caregivers. As a woman, my choice seemed natural: obstetrics and gynecology. These complex fields give me the opportunity to work with women in all stages of life. I have the most rewarding job in the world.

Leilani Misajon Woodson
M.D., FACOG
Why did you get into medicine?
I first expressed the desire to be a doctor at the age of seven. The Fisher Price Doctor's kit my parents gave me as a child is still with me today! Choosing the field of obstetrics and gynecology was completely natural. Woman's health fascinates me.
What is your favorite aspect of the physician-patient relationship?
As an obstetrician and gynecologist, I have the opportunity to form long lasting relationships with my patients. This is my goal as a physician. It is so rewarding to experience the changes we go through as women with each of my patients. Every woman is unique and I feel privileged to be a part of the journey.
Describe your family and what activities you enjoy together.
I grew up in Long Beach and am happy to return and give back to this community. We enjoy being outdoors…the beach, a concert in the park, even our backyard. As parents of two boys, we are kept very busy and loving every minute.
What are your hobbies and interests?
I enjoy reading, any kind of dancing, swimming, and spending time with my family.

Antoaneta Mueller
M.D.
I knew I wanted to be an OB-GYN in high school while volunteering in the maternity ward where my mother had worked as a nurse. I have grown to love this field that allows me to be there for a woman's most memorable and challenging experiences in life.
As your physician, my goal is to provide you with excellent care and answers to those questions that may be of concern. There is nothing more rewarding to me than forging close bonds with my patient and her family. I enjoy taking our son to the park, playing tennis, and going to the beach.

Kay May Kwok
M.D.
I decided to become a physician in second grade when I brought my father, a radiologist, to show-and-tell. I admired his knowledge of human anatomy and wanted to care for patients as he did. Through shadowing an OB/GYN physician in college, I found this specialty fascinating for its unique integration of primary and specialized care. And, when I witnessed the miracle of birth for the first time, I immediately knew that obstetrics and gynecology was the field for me.
I enjoy providing women with comprehensive health care during all phases of their lives. As a provider of primary care, I have the opportunity to educate patients about preventative medicine. As an obstetrician, I am privileged to take part in the most exciting time of a woman’s life. Being a mother, I can understand a woman’s hopes and fears and help guide her through her pregnancy. I also enjoy helping patients achieve immediate and lasting results through gynecologic surgery. Finally, continuity of care is paramount, since developing long-standing relationships with patients enables me to provide more complete, holistic care.

M.D.
I am thrilled to join Complete Women Care as one of their Obstetricians and Gynecologists. I grew up in Southern California and have recently returned. I was practicing in Louisiana for a number of years and during the last year, held a faculty position at LSU, School of Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, in Baton Rouge at their teaching hospital. I managed the Gyn-Oncology Service and taught medical students Obstetrics and Gynecology.
The most difficult part of leaving Louisiana was saying good-bye to my patients who had become family. I am very pleased to be back in California closer to my family and I am excited in acquiring a new extended family with Complete Women Care.
My mother, who is a registered nurse, was very influential in my becoming a doctor. Her warmth and compassion motivated me to seriously consider medicine. After volunteering at a Women's Health Clinic in college, I knew I wanted to be an Obstetrician/Gynecologist. My interest in Women's Health issues also developed on a global level with my graduate studies at the Schools of Public Health at Tulane and UCLA.
Treating patients in a warm, caring manner and being particularly sensitive to women's specific needs is of the utmost importance to me both personally and professionally. I am excited and feel very privileged to become part of the Complete Women Care team.
