About
Dr. Vivien Ingram, M.D. practices in Andrews, Texas. She grew up in Mesquite, TX, and earned her undergraduate degree from Texas Tech University in 2009. After college, she lived in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, helping at a local women's clinic. There she taught health and wellness classes and cared for pregnant women and families. That experience shaped her belief in small, local, relationship-driven healthcare.
She returned to the United States in 2010 and spent several years teaching high school chemistry in the Dallas area before entering medical school. Dr. Ingram graduated in 2017 from the Family Medicine Accelerated Track at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine, a program built for students committed to family medicine in small and rural communities. She completed her residency at the TTUHSC Permian Basin Campus, training at Midland Memorial Hospital, Medical Center Hospital in Odessa, PRMC, Andrews Family Medicine, and PRCC. Her final two residency years brought her to Andrews, the community she now calls home. She passed her board examination in June 2020 and earned board certification in family medicine. Following residency, she covered three Texas hospitals overnight during COVID-19 pandemic waves, supporting daytime physicians during a period of significant strain. Dr. Ingram completed additional training in substance use disorder treatment. She is passionate about weight management, food addiction, and fourth-trimester and newborn care. Andrews supported her family deeply during her daughter's 83-day NICU stay after a premature birth at 28 weeks. D.
