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.

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!
