Vanessa Yium, M.D.

Vanessa Yium is an affiliate faculty in the Department of Women’s Health at Dell Medical School and has been practicing at Women Partners in Health since 2003. She completed her medical degree at Baylor College of Medicine and went on to complete her residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Parkland Hospital in Dallas, where she was appointed chief resident.

Her education, training and background afford her the ability to care for patients with a wide variety of gynecological and obstetrical needs while providing guidance and information to allow them to understand their bodies. Yium enjoys caring for women throughout all phases of life — from adolescence, through childbearing, and into menopause. She appreciates and advocates for alternative and holistic treatments, and incorporates them into her patient care, and she uses minimally invasive surgical techniques in addition to typical surgical procedures.

Outside of work, Yium enjoys spending time with her husband and two children, Luke and Sydney. She also loves running, cooking, yoga, skiing, hiking and traveling with her family.
