Dr. Stephanie Teotia is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who is primarily concerned with individualizing patient care and providing exceptional outcomes. Dr. Teotia has won numerous clinical and academic awards and has been identified as a leader in the field. Upon completion of her training, she was made an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the University of North Carolina. She has also been appointed as a Clinical Assistant Professor at both UT-Southwestern Medical Center and Texas Tech Health Sciences Center School of Medicine, Permian Basin Campus. Prior to attending medical school, Dr. Teotia was a middle school science teacher. Dr. Teotia first practiced in Midland-Odessa. She moved to Dallas to assume Dr Byron Brown’s practice. Dr Brown was the Chairman of Plastic Surgery at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas for over thirty years. Dr. Teotia lives in the Dallas area with her husband, Dr. Sumeet Teotia, and her three children. In her sparse spare time, she enjoys being a soccer mom, enjoying local cultural events and traveling.
I used to believe that one had to save lives in order to make a real impact in medicine. Through my own life experience, I realized that helping improve patients' quality of life can be just as rewarding. We work on our home, car, and relationships. We should feel just as comfortable working on ourselves.
My husband starts the day by making me laugh. I enjoy drinking a cup of coffee while I walk my children to school. I am fortunate to spend the rest of the day working with my patients. I am blessed, as my patients often feel like good friends.
I am a data collector. I will ask many questions and read articles before making a final decision. I have no issue reaching out to people who are considered experts in specific topics. Finally, I learn best by doing.
Well-behaved women seldom make history.
I enjoy reading female, fiction writers and Hemingway.
Success is knowing that your family is secure, your patients are happy, and that each day has purpose.
