Dr. Cindy Dafashy is a board-certified family medicine physician who is committed to restoring the patient-physician relationship. She is passionate about patient education, price transparency, and helping her patients navigate the complicated maze of the healthcare system in a simple and straightforward way. She feels strongly that a family doctor should work in the interest of the patient and not for the insurance companies.
Dr. Dafashy’s academic career has spanned the state of Texas. Leaving her hometown of San Antonio, she attended Rice University in Houston where she graduated with her bachelor’s in cognitive sciences. She then went on to obtain a Master’s in medical sciences from UNT Health Science Center in Fort Worth. After her master’s program, she moved to Galveston, where she worked as a research associate at the University of Texas Medical Branch or UTMB in the maternal-fetal medicine division in the department of OB-GYN. Dr. Dafashy thereafter attended Texas A&M College of Medicine, training in both Brian and Temple Texas. For residency in family medicine, she returned to the island to train at UTMB Galveston. Dr. Dafashy opened her DPC practice, Archway Family Medicine in Houston right out of residency, where she hopes to change the way patients are treated by offering a more affordable, transparent, and accessible option.
