About me
My story
I am Dr. Rose Ngishu, certified by the American board of Internal Medicine. I incorporate Lifestyle Medicine, Functional Medicine, and Wellness Coaching in my Conventional medical practice. I take a root-cause approach to diagnosis, and a holistic approach to treatment and management of my patients.
My healthcare career started back in 1998 as a certified nurse’s assistant, working in nursing homes and rehab facilities. I studied nursing, graduating with honors from UT Arlington. I was inducted in the Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing. I enjoyed working as a Registered Nurse for about 15 years (retired,) honing my skills in inpatient critical care. I even got the ANCC vascular nursing certification. I later worked in hospital administration and home health care before matriculating to Medical school. I graduated with my MD from UTMB, Galveston, TX. during my training I also completed a global health track, and did two international rotations; one in Peru and another in Kenya. I went on to complete my internal medicine residency at the same institution. Again, being inducted in the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society, for which I hold lifetime membership. Am a member of the Texas Medical Association and the Tarrant County Medical Society. I have worked in Oklahoma and Texas.
I grew up in Kenya, and so, I am proficient in both Kiswahili and English. I love my roots, and still prefer the east African cuisine.
One of the other interesting things I have had the privilege of doing is being an honorary commander of the 97th Air Mobility Wing at The Altus Air Force Base.
I am a wife, a mother, a singer, and an ordained minister. Faith is important to me. I am super grateful for all these roles and passions I have been able to pursue thus far. More to come.
That aside, I deeply care that you and yours are well, #altogetherwell.

Testimonials
She doesn’t look at an existing medical issue in isolation but takes a more holistic approach with her patients.She cared for my shingles, but more importantly, she cared for me,asking me questions regarding my exercise patterns, sleep habits, and other things going on in my life. She listened intently to my concerns and stressors. She emphasized the importance of rest, diet, and healthy practices in living life. I love her approach to caring for her patients.
