Dr. Maisha McStuffins[1][2][3][4][5] is the wife of Marcus McStuffins, the mother of Doc and Donny and the adoptive mother of Maya. She sometimes has Doc to volunteer for her when there's a patient to help, either toy or person. She is a recurring character in season 1-3 and a guest character in season 4 and 5.
Background[]
Etymology[]
Dr. McStuffins' forename Maisha[1][2][3][4][5] (revealed in "The Big Sleep over) is based on Dr. Myiesha Taylor, an emergency room physician at Texas Regional Medical Center in Sunnyvale.[6]
The original Arabic name ميشا is actually derived from Aisha. Dr. Taylor's reference to "life's blessing" relates to a separate etymology for the simpler spelled "Maisha" which translates to "life" from African origins.
Personality[]
Dr. McStuffins is mostly compassionate and motherly, but when there's a patient in need, she always remains sweet and friendly to them, if the patient is a person, but when Doc is stuck on a hard case when there's a toy to fix, her mother always helps her with some advice or help to fix the toy.
Physical Appearance[]
Dr. McStuffins is a slender African American woman and wears a green long-sleeved shirt and denim jeans. She is often seen wearing a white lab coat just like Doc. She has curly brown hair, brown skin, and brown eyes. On Christmas Day at the end of "A Very McStuffins Christmas" she wore a green sweater with snowflakes embroidered all around it at the bottom. The sleeves and collar are red.

"The reach of Doc McStuffins will be felt in healthcare and STEM for generations to come," said Dr. Myiesha Taylor, a physician at the Texas Regional Medical Center. Doc McStuffins' mother on the show, Dr. Maisha McStuffins, is named after Dr. Taylor. - ↑ 3.0 3.1 3.2 page 158 of David Perimutter's "The Encyclopedia of American Animated Television Shows" published 4 May 2018:
"Kimberly Brooks (Dr. Maisha McStuffins/Surfer Girl)" - ↑ 4.0 4.1 4.2 ACEP Now interview with Myiesha Taylor 15 October 2017:
When I was talking to Chris, I said, “Wow, you should name the mom Myiesha!” I went into what the meaning of Myiesha is. It’s Arabic, and it means “life’s blessing.” I was totally joking with her. Some months later, she called me and said, “You’ll never guess what happened.” I asked, “What? What happened?” She said, “You’ll see tomorrow on the press release.” They named her Maisha because she didn’t have a name before then. So now Doc McStuffins’ mom’s name is Maisha McStuffins. So that’s kind of cool. - ↑ 5.0 5.1 5.2 Amazon :
