Partnering closely with patients to educate, inspire, and motivate sustainable, long-term change.
Not merely handing out prescriptions, but thoughtfully developing individualized health plans and coordinating comprehensive, patient-centered care
No one should be lost, forgotten, or overlooked within the often fragmented American medical system.
July 27, 2026 update:
Happy Summer! I hope you are staying cool and enjoying the potential summer offers. Summer fruits are plentiful, the pool offers fun and refreshment, and the nights are cool enough by 9pm to enjoy a little time in a rocking chair on a patio. I did cheat a little bit and escaped to Guanajuato for 3 weeks and indulged in the low 80s while walking 3-5 miles daily and meeting amazing new people. Along the way we found a house to put an offer on so please keep us in your thoughts as we hope to put more plans into action. Gavin is very ready to move to Dallas and start college and I am looking forward to watching him stretch his wings.
I also have some news on the professional side: I accepted a job with Baylor Scott and White Health in their telemedicine division (yes, they have an entire telemed division) and I will be starting in Urgent Care in December. I have been thoroughly impressed by their process, the happiness of the staff I have met so far, and their respect and support for a ‘seasoned’ PA who is burnt out on primary care but still wants to help people. I will work 3 12-hour shifts a week from the comfort of my home office. This is going to feel luxurious compared to the tiny desk I worked from with 8 coworkers sharing a narrow hallway. While I do miss my colleagues at PFP, this plan will allow me to continue to focus on my health and needs with less unnecessary stress on my nervous system. The unfortunate part is that I will not be able to treat any of you since this job is ONLY for urgent care. When you book an urgent care appointment there is not a way to pick a particular provider….it’s first come, next served by whoever is available.
As I told most of you, I still would like to offer my opinion if you should ever want it. I can’t prescribe medication or order tests, but I can help you find options for your care and talk through strategies. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you feel like there is anything I can do!
Thanks for all of your support and well wishes! I truly feel blessed beyond belief to have your friendship and encouragement.
Go Horns! Michelle
After 19 wonderful years, I have decided to leave Premier Family Physicians. My last day in the office will be April 30, 2026.
This has not been an easy decision, largely because of the relationships I have built with all of you. Over the last two decades, I have had the distinct privilege of getting to know you as individuals and, in many cases, caring for multiple generations of your families.
It has been one of the greatest honors of my life to “live life” alongside you. We have shared celebratory highs and navigated difficult lows together. I want you to know how deeply I value the trust you placed in me during those vulnerable moments. Treating you has been more than a job; it has been a partnership.
Looking back on my 25 years in medicine, I view this career as an answered calling. As I close this chapter, I do not have immediate plans for my professional future. Instead, I am looking forward to a season of focusing on my family—specifically getting my son settled into college—and prioritizing my own health. I am sure the future holds many options that I will be eager to explore when the time is right.
Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your lives. I hope our paths cross again in the future.
