experience EXPERTISE with a private md SO RARE, IT CHANGES EVERYTHING
I'm a board-certified physician with over 20 years of experience and a deep belief that great medicine starts with real relationships. That's why we created Ivalo MD, to offer something different. Real time together. Clear answers. A genuine partnership in your health.
Before Ivalo, I was Chief Resident at a leading New York hospital and spent 16+ years at Baylor Scott & White Health. I've been honored as one of D Magazine's Best Doctors in Dallas.
