naomi bennet, md.

naomi went to medical school at columbia with derek shepherd, addison montgomery, mark sloan and sam bennett.

she did ob/gyn residency in new york, taking a fellowship in reproductive endocrinology and infertility as it was her area of passion.

she dated sam during med school, getting married during residency and having a daughter - maya.

they moved to seattle after naomi completed her fellowship and the couple decided to open up a practice of their own - seattle grace wellness center.

sam asked for divorce but they remained partners of the practice until financial problems came up and addison bought the practice.

because of the practice, naomi kept the bennett surname. deep down, she was still hoping sam would change his mind and go back to her but it didn’t happen. while she has moved on and tried to make peace within herself, it’s still a sensitive subject and she regrets not changing it back to her maiden name.

at 15, maya got pregnant and naomi tried to force her to go for an abortion, against her own faith. it’s something that she is still coming to terms with. maya and her boyfriend got married and live on their own. naomi is now helping them to raise olivia, her granddaughter, so they can also focus on their college career.

naomi still works in the practice and has privileges in the hospital, going for consults when requested.

supposedly naomi was engaged to fife and moved to new york with maya but i’m changing it - basically maya decided to go to UW instead of columbia and naomi didn’t accept fife’s proposal, being the reason they broke up.

she has also adopted betsey, dell’s daughter, and lives near maya.

naomi is very devoted to god but she is going through a rough period with her faith, after trying to force her own daughter to have an abortion, something she is against.
