Linda Siy, MD, named 2022 Texas Family Physician of the Year
Linda Siy, MD, has been named the 2022 Texas Family Physician of the Year by the Texas Academy of Family Physicians.
This distinction is the highest honor among Texas family doctors and shows Dr. Siy's commitment to providing her patients with compassionate and comprehensive care.

The Intensive Care Program was established in 2019 when Dr. Saverine saw the need to minimize the amount of high utilizers in the Emergency Department (ED).
