"I am a board-certified osteopathic family physician with more than 20 years of experience. I focus on building relationships with patients based on trust and respect. I treat the whole person, not just specific illnesses, considering each patient’s unique circumstances, preferences and values when making diagnostic and treatment decisions," said Dr. Hamby. "I am passionate about preventing illness, promoting wellness and providing personalized guidance on maintaining a healthy lifestyle. This includes routine checkups, health screenings, immunizations and counseling to support long-term health. I help patients achieve their health goals through preventive care and individualized treatment plans. My special interests include geriatrics, hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, heart and lung disease and skin disorders. "Serving in healthcare has been one of my greatest honors. From a young age I had an aptitude for science and a strong desire to help others. Family medicine captured my interest in medical school because it allows me to treat a variety of conditions. Over the past two decades I have been grateful for the opportunity to combine knowledge and listening to provide compassionate, patient-centered care." Dr. Hamby is employed as a clinical faculty physician at The University of Texas at Tyler Health Science Center under the UT Tyler School of Medicine.
