Dr. Berens is a family physician and founder of Vida Family Medicine where she provides primary care to individuals and families. Prior to opening her private practice she worked in and led a community health center in Philadelphia, PA and taught medical students and residents in Houston, TX at Baylor College of Medicine. She treats each patient as an individual and tailors prevention and treatment plans to the needs of each patient rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Her office is welcoming to all, and her care is trauma-informed and weight-neutral.
