Meet Two of Our New Family Medicine Physicians
Coryell Health is proud to welcome two new family medicine physicians to our Waco clinic and our Gatesville clinic in Building 2: Dr. Amy Chung and Dr. Shrey Goel! Learn about their backgrounds, what inspired them to pursue family medicine and more in their interviews below.
Dr. Amy Chung, MD
Family Medicine
Tell us about your background.
I grew up in California, but I moved to Texas to attend Texas A&M for both college and medical school (whoop!). Then, I went to Waco Family Medicine for residency, where I served as chief resident. I’ve been in practice for about three years now.
Where are you practicing for Coryell Health?
I’ll be practicing at the Waco clinic and the Gatesville clinic in Building 2.
What made you want to go into family medicine?
During my second year of medical school, one of my mentors was a family medicine physician. In our first visits together, she actually had a whole family come in, from the children to the grandparents. I loved the concept of being able to learn about the whole family and provide continuing care throughout their whole lives.
What’s your philosophy regarding practicing medicine & treating patients?
We can read textbooks and learn good medicine all we want, but it really comes down to learning about the patient, their lifestyle and their goals. Without getting to know the patient, we can practice medicine, but it won’t be the most effective treatment.
What are the most common issues you treat?
In family medicine, I get a little bit of everything and cater to patients of all ages. I see acute and chronic conditions, mental health struggles and even end-of-life discussions.
Dr. Shrey Goel, MD
Family Medicine
Tell us about your background.
I was born in the Canadian city of Winnipeg, Manitoba. As a child, I moved to the United States and have lived in a few different states, but I completed my medical school training at the University of Arizona in Tucson. After medical school, I came to Waco, where I underwent residency training at Waco Family Medicine. During residency, I had the privilege of serving as one of the chief residents for the program with my colleague and friend, Dr. Amy Chung.
Where are you practicing for Coryell Health?
I’ll be practicing at the Waco clinic and the Gatesville clinic in Building 2.
What made you want to go into family medicine?
Throughout my education and career after my undergraduate studies, I had several really significant mentors in my life who happened to be family medicine doctors. I feel like I just kept receiving the message that family medicine was the path for me. When I entered medical school, I was pretty set on pursuing family medicine, and I kept having experiences that affirmed that choice.
What’s your philosophy regarding practicing medicine & treating patients?
My overall philosophy can be summed up by a very common phrase we use in medicine: “shared decision-making.” To me, it represents learning with and from your patients. Patients have a lot going on in their lives that affects the efficacy of different treatment plans, so I try to learn about their lives, the barriers and challenges they face that might affect treatment plans and come to the best decision with them about medical management.
What are the most common issues you treat?
The most common conditions I deal with are chronic conditions like hypertension, diabetes and coronary artery disease. I also treat acute complaints, musculoskeletal aches and pains and joint problems. The process of treating a painful joint involves really understanding which part of the joint is hurting, and that requires conversation, keeping track of medical history and a relationship over time to understand and find the right treatment option. I’m really passionate about caring for all ages, whether it’s babies, adolescents, adults or older adults.
