Frequently Asked Questions
- Why is our office named Boojum Obstetrics & Gynecology?
- The first time Dr. Kells laid his eyes on a Boojum tree, he fell in love. He likes the character that each tree displays and that it flourishes in the harsh desert environment. The Boojum tree (pictured on the left) is native to the deserts of Baja, California and Sonora, Mexico. It can be found locally at the Desert Botanical Garden and the Boyce Thompson Arboretum. It resembles a giant upside down turnip, with a tall tapering trunk, green-white bark, and short thin horizontal branches. The wood is soft and spongy and retains water It is often hollow and provides a home for honeybees. The tree is leafless during much of the year but leaves appear when the temperature cools down. It also has orange-red flowers that blossom which look similar to its cousin the ocotillo. It can attain heights of 66 feet but will bend gracefully as it cannot support itself.

- Boojum OB/GYN accepts many insurance plans including fee for service, standard indemnity, HMO's, and preferred provider organizations.
