Shelley Ferrill, MD has joined Memorial Hermann Medical Group Cinco Ranch, the health care giant announced in a December 18 press release.

A board-certified family medicine specialist, Dr. Ferrill has been in practice since 2001 and treats patients of all ages. Her primary clinical interests include adolescent health, diabetes, blood pressure, lipids and women’s issues. She is especially interested in disease prevention and preventative care, including annual exams; cardiovascular, cholesterol and cancer screenings; immunizations; and diet and exercise.

Dr. Ferrill says a key part of her approach to care is identifying the underlying causes of health problems, a step that she believes leads to less testing, less medicine and a faster rate of recovery. She also works to develop strong patient relationships and create a team approach to care, which helps patients understand why she recommends some treatment approaches and not others.

A native of Pasadena, Texas, Dr. Ferrill earned her undergraduate degree from Baylor University and her medical degree from UT Southwestern Medical School in Dallas. She completed her residency at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Northwest Regional Campus in Fayetteville.

Dr. Ferrill is married and the mother of two adult children. Away from her practice she enjoys cooking, gardening, traveling and the outdoors.

Memorial Hermann Medical Group Cinco Ranch is located at 23144 Westheimer Parkway, Katy TX 77494. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Ferrill, call 281.392.5005 or schedule online at memorialhermann.org/mhmg.
