Cindy Dafashy, MD

I am Cindy Dafashy, and I opened Archway Family Medicine as a commitment to restore the patient-physician relationship. During my training, it had become painfully obvious to me that the current system was a nightmare for patients and doctors alike. I was being told to limit my patient visits to 1-2 concerns. My treatment plans were being directed by what insurance companies wanted, not what was best for the human being sitting in front of me. And my patients were suffering.

Clear pricing before my patient received any medication, lab or service; Spending time teaching my patients about their diagnoses and treatments in detail; Gathering community resources to support my patients in whatever stage of their healthcare journey they're in; Welcoming each patient like family. I want to work by you, with you, and for you. You are more than a symptom, more than a 10 minute visit, more than what you've been given in the past by this healthcare system.

Dr. Dafashy grew up in San Antonio and has lived all across Texas for her professional training and career. She's a first generation Ecuadorian-American and fell in love with the city of Houston for its diversity in culture. She's married with two young kids who keep her heart dancing and a smile imprinted on her face. In addition to her medical practice, Dr. Dafashy also serves as part-time faculty at Rice University.

Dr. Dafashy has a special interest in caring for young families as a whole and adolescents/young adults as they become independent in their health care. She strongly believes in working with the patient to create tailored treatment plans that fits in their life. She is committed to finding the root of the problem, not just treating symptoms.
