Hello,
My name is Micaela Sanchez, I am a bilingual, Mexican American medical provider in Dallas, Texas. I am a nurse practitioner, serving our community with a focus on women’s health and sexual health specialties.
While working in this field, I saw a need for access to a provider, at a reasonable cost, for clients who cannot make it to see a provider in person. I know what it is like, first hand, as a teen single-mother, trying to juggle life’s ever changing priorities and figuring out an unexpected doctor visits and costs.
I created Comadre (which means Godmother) Telemedicine to help close this gap in the access to healthcare. Through active listening and thoughtful questioning, I will deliver high-quality, discreet care that utilizes the most recent advancements in medicine from the convenience of your phone.
I hope to make a difference in our community, by providing cost effective and conveniently accessible medical care on your terms!
Thank you!
“This was my second time seeing Micaela Sanchez, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her care. She’s incredibly kind and genuinely invested in my long-term goals. Today I had my Nexplanon removed, and although I wasn’t planning on starting another form of birth control, she gave me thoughtful, thorough education about my options. Her compassion and expertise helped me make the best decision for myself. She consistently goes above and beyond, and I always feel heard and supported in her care.”
