As a rural medical scholar, she received education and training designed to create the next generation of healthcare leaders for Rural Alabama. Upon completion of her master’s degree, she matriculated at the University of Alabama School of medicine. Dr. D successfully completed her Doctor of Medicine in 2007. Upon completion of medical school, she was accepted into the Tuscaloosa Family Medicine Residency Program where she spent an additional three years training to become a family medicine physician.
Upon successful completion of the residency program Dr. D was the first and only fellow of academic medicine at the Tuscaloosa family medicine residency. In that role she was afforded the opportunity to work with medical students and residents as a junior attending.
After leaving Tuscaloosa she joined the Brewton Medical Center in Brewton, Alabama as a physician. After four years of working in Brewton Dr. D felt the push to take her knowledge back to her hometown and start treating patients there. Upon her return to Tuskegee, she was employed with the Tuskegee Medical and Surgical Center and then went on to Prime Care Medical Center. It was at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic that she heard the undeniable word from God to move, and in April 2021 after much prayer and hard work the doors of Rhema Health and Wellness were opened.
Along with running her own private practice Dr. D is a proud an active member of Nebraska Missionary Baptist Church in Hardaway, Alabama. She is also a member of Zeta Phi Beta sorority Inc.
