I’m a board-certified family physician. I have extensive clinic experience providing full spectrum inclusive care for LGBTQIA+ patients over the last 4 years since finishing my training. During my residency training, I graduated as the first person to complete a subspecialty track in LGBTQIA+ medicine. This program is the first of it’s kind in the country. It gave me 2 years of speciality training in gender-related medicine and caring for all LGBTQIA+ patients. Providing gender-affirming care is my true passion. That’s why I quit my previous job to start my own practice– so I can focus on giving the best gender-affirming care possible. In Texas gender-affirming care is incredibly difficult to find–by starting a telemedicine practice my hope is to be able to reach people even in the most remote parts of the state.
Since I started practicing, one of my guiding principles is forming a collaborative partnership with each human. I believe in working together as a team, where patients are active participants in their own healthcare decisions. Your voice matters, and I’m here to listen, respect your preferences, and support you on your journey. I love to create customized treatment plans that cater to the unique needs and identities of each patient. I firmly believe that everyone deserves personalized care, and I strive to make each patient’s experience tailored to their individual circumstances. This is also why I am dedicated to ongoing education and staying up to date with the latest advancements in the field, ensuring that my patients receive the highest quality of care possible.

I’ve had the pleasure of being Dr. P patient for my primary care needs and weight loss journey for years, and I cannot recommend her enough! Dr. P always makes the time to listen to my health concerns and answered all my questions thoroughly. Her approach to healthy is both realistic and supportive. I appreciate her dedication to patient care and her holistic approach to health. If you’re looking for a primary care physician who genuinely cares, she’s it FOR SURE 🙂
I met Dr.P ,4 years ago, when I moved back to Austin.
She has always been kind, respectful, open-minded and gentle. Dr. P is easy to talk to so you can speak freely.
Dr Parsons was my first provider at a different clinic when I started transitioning. She is soft, gentle, caring and really knows what she is doing. If she becomes your provider you’ll never regret it.
Great doctor! She just opened her own practice and is taking new patients, so wanted to spread the word: https://affirmhealthtelemed.com/
