I am Dr. Rose Ngishu, certified by the American board of Internal Medicine. I also incorporate Lifestyle Medicine, Wellness Coaching, and to a lesser extent Functional Medicine in my practice. I take a root-cause approach to diagnosis, and a holistic approach to treatment and management of my patients.

My healthcare career started in 1998 as a certified nurse’s assistant, working in nursing homes and rehab facilities. For undergraduate I studied nursing, graduating with honors from UT Arlington, followed by induction 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, including ANCC vascular nursing certification. I  later worked in hospital administration and home health care as well. I graduated medical school at UTMB, Galveston. While there I also pursued a global health track and did two international rotations; in Peru and in Kenya. I went on to complete my internal medicine residency at the same institution, and was also inducted in the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society, in which I hold lifetime membership. I hold membership in the Texas Medical Association and in the Tarrant County Medical Society. I have worked in Oklahoma and Texas. One of the other interesting things I have had a privilege to do is be an honorary commander of the 97th Air Mobility Wing at The Altus Air Force Base. I am glad to call the greater DFW metroplex home now. 

I am a wife, a mother, a singer, and an ordained minister. I love all I do, and am super grateful that I get to pursue all these roles passionately. Patient care is a calling I take seriously. I deeply care that you and yours are well, altogether. 

Of note, I grew up in Kenya, and am proficient in both Kiswahili and English.
