Dorothy C. Serna, MD Named to 2018 Texas Super Doctors List

Dorothy Cohen Serna, MD, CWP, FACP, has been selected for inclusion on Super Doctors list of the top doctors in Texas for 2018, a distinction limited to just five percent of the area’s active physicians.

The annual recognition is the result of a rigorous, multi-phase selection process to identify healthcare providers who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. Each year Super Doctors invites doctors to nominate colleagues they know to be exceptional in their specified field, asking them to respond to the question: "If you needed medical care in one of the following specialties, which doctor would you choose?" Independent researchers consider additional factors such as fellowships, hospital appointments, professional activities, leadership positions, academic achievements, board certifications, publications, presentations, honors, awards and other relevant indicators.

An internal medicine physician for more than two decades, Dr. Serna founded North Cypress Internal Medicine and Wellness (NCIMW) and transitioned to a concierge model in 2017 in order to provide highly personalized care to the Houston area. Patients have embraced the hallmark benefits of concierge medicine, including longer visits, same/next day appointments, direct access to physician by cell phone and a pronounced emphasis on wellness. Dr. Serna’s commitment to the tenets of Lifestyle Medicine - treating the underlying cause of disease with evidence-based lifestyle changes - have been fully integrated into her practice, further distinguishing the high-touch care at NCIMW.

“The level of care and availability I’ve been able to offer patients to guide them on their individual journeys to wellness has exceeded all our expectations. It is a privilege to practice this way,” said Dr. Serna.
