About UT Physicians Women's Center – Memorial City
Dr. Perez is an obstetrician gynaecologist at the UT Physicians Women's Center in Memorial City, the clinical practice of UTHealth Houston. She went to medical school and trained in residency at UT Southwestern and is board certified in obstetrics and gynaecology. UT Physicians gives every provider the same short profile of schooling, board certification and languages, so the site never says what she treats or which hormone therapies she prescribes. Her profile at UT Physicians is new and longtime patients have followed her from a previous practice, including one who says she has seen her for more than twelve years. A patient review on her page describes her talking through menopause. New patients book by sending the Women's Centers appointment request form, which lets you name her as the preferred physician.
