Mara Keaton

"You think I'm being served to you, like a concubine? I'm not here to service you, Dr. Avery. I'm here to serve your mother for a grade. And she has tasked me with digging up as much as I can about yours boards, your standing, your love life, and when you're going to stop screwing around in plastics. I rank this task slightly above wiping vomit from bedpans, but your mother is a very demanding woman, and if you know anything about her, you know I can't go back empty-handed. So if you're really sorry, and not just a presumptuous pig, you would do a girl a solid and you would tell me whatever it is you want me to tell her, and you can do it in the cafeteria because I'm bloody starving!"

- Mara Keaton to Jackson Avery

Mara Keaton is a urology fellow working at Brigham and Women's Hospital, studying under Dr. Catherine Avery.

History
Dr. Keaton accompanied Dr. Catherine Avery to Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital, when Dr. Avery was consulted to assist Dr. Richard Webber and Dr. Miranda Bailey regarding their gallbladder surgery case.

While visiting, Dr. Avery tasked Dr. Keaton to subtlety gather information about her son. Jackson, unfortunately believing this to be a romantic set-up by his mother, rejected Dr. Keaton. Being offended by this presumption, Dr. Keaton then revealed her true intentions with Jackson, and the two eventually bond over their mutual frustrations with Dr. Avery.

Career
Dr. Keaton attained her medical degree from the Medical Sciences Division at University of Oxford and completed her surgical residency at Massachusetts General Hospital. She then attained a urology fellowship at Brigham and Women's Hospital to study under Dr. Catherine Avery.

At Dr. Keaton's introduction, she is in her final year of her fellowship and is considering Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital to be an attending urologist.
