“I have had remarkable results working with Dr Halley Francis. I’ve lost over 5 inches on my waist. She is so encouraging and optimistic that I look forward to our interactions.”
I am a practicing Internal Medicine physician with 10 years of experience treating patients in the hospital setting. I have spent the past 3 years building my practice towards keeping patients out of the hospital and living their most healthy, productive lives. I believe the majority of chronic illness in the United States is driven by what has been termed 'the Metabolic Syndrome.' The Metabolic Syndrome is characterized by insulin resistance, excess body fat, and increased risk for cardiovascular disease. I developed the GluTox Health program to help patients regain control over their health through nutritional counseling, routine exercise programs, and novel pharmacologic interventions that don't just treat the symptoms of the Metabolic Syndrome but effectively reverse and resolve the negative health consequences that result from it.

I am grateful for the opportunities I have had to work in the healthcare field for many years. Before I attended medical school, I had a previous career in respiratory therapy (RT) which I started in 1999. I thoroughly enjoyed working as an RT but decided to further my education in order to be more involved in patient care. I received a Bachelor of Science degree with honors from The University of Texas at San Antonio in 2005. I obtained my medical degree from Ross University School of Medicine in 2013. After graduating, I continued my medical training at The Brooklyn Hospital Center (TBHC) where I completed a residency program in Family Medicine in 2018. I became board certified in Family Medicine the same year. After residency, I continued working for TBHC by dividing my time working as a physician in an outpatient clinic and working at a nursing and rehabilitation facility where I served as medical director. I gained more clinical experience working at an outpatient facility affiliated with the University Health System in San Antonio but left my home state of Texas in order to move to my new home in Miami.
My love outside of medicine is my family. I have two little girls, a wonderful family in Texas, and an amazing family here in Miami that I have gained through my wonderful husband. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the Reyes and Reyes team, and I am looking forward to working with you to meet your healthcare needs!
