My name is Miguel Ybarra, I have been practicing Respiratory Care for over 24 years. I enjoy working with different cultures and different patient populations. I have a wonderful wife, Melinda, and two loving daughters Angela and Rebecca. I was born and raised in Southwest Texas, and we enjoy the outdoors. Both my wife and I are avid golfers and lovers of all kinds of animals. We like fishing, camping, visiting national parks and nature as a whole.
With a smile and a helping hand, we provide quality care and service to our communities.
We will distinguish ourselves as the trusted healthcare destination.
We will provide compassionate healthcare and advocate wellness through innovative access, preventive medicine,
and collaborative partnerships within our diverse community.
