About
Dr. Renée Woods earned her BA in Chemistry from Texas Christian University and her MD from the University of Texas Health Sciences Center, Southwestern Medical School in Dallas. She completed her internship and residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Baylor University Medical Center, also in Dallas. She has practiced medicine for over thirty years.
Dr. Woods holds board certification as a Fellow of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, a credential she has maintained since 1994. She also holds a Fellowship Diplomate from the American Academy of Anti-Aging and Functional Medicine, earned through their Fellowship Program in 2012. She completed a preceptorship in surgical incontinence evaluation and treatment at the University of Texas Health Sciences Center at Houston in 2006, followed by specialized training in pelvic floor rehabilitation in 2007. In 2015, she completed a preceptorship in the Bale-Doneen Method for heart attack, stroke, and diabetes prevention. Her clinical focus evolved from obstetrics and gynecology into functional medicine after she recognized that disease-oriented care left too many root causes unaddressed. She moved her family to Washington in 2000, practiced for over a decade in the Wenatchee and Chelan areas, and now sees patients in Yakima. She is passionate about hormone therapy, regenerative medicine, toxicity treatment, and helping patients pursue genuine health rather than simply the absence of illness.
