From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Naomi Bennett is a character on the Grey's Anatomy spinoff, Private Practice. She was previously played by Merrin Dungey but was replaced by four time Tony Award winner Audra McDonald for creative reasons.[1] Naomi is board certified in obstetrics and gynecology.
[edit] Character History
Naomi works at the Oceanside Wellness Centre in Los Angeles, California as a fertility specialist. She works there with her health guru ex-husband, Sam who left her for no apparent reason. Together they have a teenage daughter named Maya whose godmother is her best friend from medical school (Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons), Addison Montgomery. The latter sought medical advice from Naomi because she wanted to get pregnant. After running some tests, Naomi concludes that Addison is unable to have children because her antrall follicle count is of two. She is a member of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, the Society of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
[edit] Relationships
Naomi works alongside her ex-husband, Sam, with whom she has a relatively friendly but often strained relationship. In "Down the Rabbit Hole," Naomi has her first date since college, which doesn't go that well because all she could talk about was her job. Dell, the office receptionist, has a crush on Naomi, and often shows it by getting her coffee, bringing her home-baked chocolate cake and generally complimenting and adoring her. Naomi doesn't take his crush too seriously, calling him a "child."
