Our Team

I never expected to become a patient.

After years of practicing internal medicine, seeing 30 patients a day and taking 36-hour hospital calls, I was suddenly diagnosed with multiple autoimmune conditions. Almost overnight, I went from feeling healthy to experiencing constant fatigue, pain, and inflammation. Like many patients, I searched for answers through conventional medicine, but the treatment options I was given focused mostly on managing symptoms. The medications I tried came with difficult side effects, and I knew there had to be a better path forward.

That experience led me to Functional Medicine and Integrative Medicine—a root-cause approach that looks deeper for what’s driving symptoms and chronic illness. I pursued advanced training under leaders in the field, including Dr. Andrew Weil and Dr. Mark Hyman, and began applying evidence-based strategies focused on nutrition, lifestyle, movement, stress resilience, and targeted supplementation. Over time, I was able to restore my health, regain my energy, and transform how I care for patients.

Over the last 24 years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for thousands of patients and was honored to be recognized as one of the Top 10 Internists in Houston and in the state of Texas. I completed a two-year fellowship at the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine, earned IFMCP certification through The Institute for Functional Medicine, and pursued advanced training in Environmental Medicine under the mentorship of Dr. Neil Nathan. I also completed training in Dr. Dale Bredesen’s Protocol to expand my work in brain health and dementia prevention, along with advanced education in genetics and precision medicine.

At My Pure MD®️, I combine the best of conventional diagnostics with advanced Functional Medicine testing to identify root causes and create personalized care plans.
