Martin (Marty) McBee, D.O., and Tristan McBee, D.O., are the dynamic duo making waves at INTEGRIS Health Southwest Medical Center. This remarkable partnership not only showcases the hospital's commitment to fostering a family-oriented environment but also highlights the legacy of medical excellence passed down through generations.
Marty McBee is an emergency medicine specialist and regional medical director for TeamHealth, providing emergency medicine coverage for INTEGRIS Health’s metro and regional ERs. He has been a valued member of the INTEGRIS Health Southwest Medical Center team for nearly 30 years. With a distinguished career in emergency medicine, he has made significant contributions to the hospital and the broader medical community. His dedication, compassion and expertise have earned him the respect and admiration of both colleagues and patients.
Inspired by his father's passion for medicine, Dr. Tristan McBee is following his father’s footsteps as a third-year emergency medicine resident at INTEGRIS Health Southwest Medical Center. He brings a fresh perspective and innovative approach to patient care. The father and son share a common goal to ensure the highest standard of care for every patient they encounter.
"It's an incredible experience to work alongside my son. I was overwhelmed and elated when he started his residency at the hospital," said Dr. Marty McBee. "Watching him grow into the exceptional doctor he is today has been one of the proudest moments of my life. Together, we are committed to making a difference in our patients' lives."
Dr. Tristan McBee echoed his father's sentiments. "Having my father as a mentor and colleague is truly special. His wisdom and guidance have been invaluable to my career. I am honored to continue the legacy of excellence he has established here at INTEGRIS Health Southwest Medical Center.”
The younger McBee would often accompany his dad to work and grew up seeing the benefits of emergency medicine and medicine as a whole in practice. He loves the fact that he can make such a profound difference in the lives of others while still having a family life.
He says it was initially hard working with his father who was also his attending physician, because the critiques felt much more personal coming from his dad. However, he is now very thankful to have someone that he can casually talk to about a hard or interesting case or just ask for advice.
As far as fatherly advice goes, Dr. Marty McBee says “it’s hard because I’ve been telling him what to do all his life as all parents do and I realize he is all grown up and probably doesn’t want to hear it now, but I love when he asks for help or wants to learn more.”
On the other hand, however, Dr. Tristan McBee says the best advice he’s received from his dad was to remember he’s seeing most patients on the worst day of their lives, and it is his job not only to respond to their physical needs but emotional needs as well.
He goes on to say one of the things he tries to emulate from his dad is being relational to both patients and his fellow caregivers. Taking the extra few minutes to make sure his patients truly understand their medical issues and why their medical team is making the decisions they are making.
The father and son duo represents the values that INTEGRIS Health Southwest Medical Center holds dear: dedication, compassion and a commitment to continuous improvement. Their collaboration not only enhances the quality of care provided but also strengthens the sense of community within the hospital.
