Meet Dr. Kristin Favela
Dr. Favela grew up in Austin. She attended Tulane University where she summa cum laude with degrees in Chemical Engineering and Molecular Biology. She was fortunate to attend the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, both because she was able to realize her calling to provide medical care to children and because she met her husband there. Dr. Favela completed her residency training at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center and her fellowship at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. During fellowship, Dr. Favela developed a focus in differences in sex development in addition to general endocrinology. She is also passionate about patient and family education. ??
She, her husband, and their 2 sons are thrilled to be moving back home to Texas and look forward to exploring Fort Worth.

Dr. Favela was amazing in answering questions and explaining a complex disease like [...] in a way that was easy to understand AND remember. Now I think about her diagram when I explain it to others. The PharmD and Nurse were also amazing. Nurse shared with us about her interest on the [...] podcast and that just showed how much she cared. Nurse was extremely caring and we felt very well taken care of.

Dr. Favelas nurse was absolutely the sweetest. It was her first time meeting our baby and she was so caring and even interacted with him making him smile, which some of his providers don't do. Dr. Favela herself was also great. First time meeting her and it felt like we've met before! She was so welcoming and caring towards our family. She took her time to explain everything to us in a way we could understand and made sure we left with all the answers. Cannot recommend enough!
