Background & Training

A native Texan, Dr. Silvertooth received an undergraduate degree from Baylor University, then her medical degree from the University of Texas Medical Branch.  Following medical school she completed residency training in the combined Internal Medicine and Psychiatry program at Duke University Medical Center.

Dr. Silvertooth remained at Duke on faculty in the departments of Internal Medicine and Psychiatry after completing residency, and served in various capacities including teaching physician for both departments and associate director for the residency program.   Like most Texans, Dr. Silvertooth could not stay away from Texas for long, and thus returned in 2006. 

She had been working as a medicine hospitalist at St. David’s prior to opening her practice.

Interests & Hobbies

As a former member of the Baylor University Track and Field team, Dr. Silvertooth is quite partial to Baylor sports.  However, as an Austinite and Longhorn spouse, she is a diehard UT fan--when the Bears are not in town.  Dr. Silvertooth enjoys spending time outdoors in the beautiful Texas hill country, and in her free time is an avid swimmer.
