I am a board-certified physician and endocrinology, diabetes, obesity and thyroid specialist who provides high-quality, personalized care to patients throughout the state of Texas through my telehealth clinic.
I believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. Each individual is unique, and that’s why I take the time to understand your medical history, circumstances, and aspirations.

I went on to do my residency in Internal Medicine at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio followed by a fellowship in Endocrinology and Metabolism at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, in Dallas.
I also worked for 5 years at the Weight Wellness Clinic at UTSW, focusing on the treatment of obesity and associated comorbidities. I was honored to be an Assistant Professor of the Endocrinology and Metabolism Department at UT Southwestern Medical Center.

My ability to communicate fluently in both English and Spanish is something I hold dear to my heart. It enables me to connect with a broader range of patients, especially in Texas’ diverse communities. I understand that language barriers can be a significant obstacle to quality healthcare, so I strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for all patients. Speaking your preferred language ensures that you fully understand your condition, treatment options, and the steps we’ll take to improve your health.
