About Maria Isabel Esparza, MD
Who I Am
I am a board-certified physician and endocrinology, diabetes, obesity and thyroid specialist who provides high-quality, personalized care to patients throughout the state of Texas through my telehealth clinic.
I believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. Each individual is unique, and that’s why I take the time to understand your medical history, circumstances, and aspirations.
Education and Experience
I completed medical school in my native country of Mexico at the Autonomous University of Aguascalientes, where I graduated cum laude.
I went on to do my residency in Internal Medicine at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio followed by a fellowship in Endocrinology and Metabolism at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, in Dallas.
I also worked for 5 years at the Weight Wellness Clinic at UTSW, focusing on the treatment of obesity and associated comorbidities. I was honored to be an Assistant Professor of the Endocrinology and Metabolism Department at UT Southwestern Medical Center.
Culture
My ability to communicate fluently in both English and Spanish is something I hold dear to my heart. It enables me to connect with a broader range of patients, especially in Texas’ diverse communities. I understand that language barriers can be a significant obstacle to quality healthcare, so I strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for all patients. Speaking your preferred language ensures that you fully understand your condition, treatment options, and the steps we’ll take to improve your health.
Impact
I enjoy actively engaging with the medical community and I take pride in being involved in organizations that foster diversity, inclusion, and wellness. I was a member of the UTSW Internal Medicine Racial Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Committee for 3 years, as well as a member of the UTSW Internal Medicine Wellness Committee.
