About Dr. Kaitlin E. Joest
"I believe caring for women through each stage of life is one of the greatest honors. My goal as a physician is for my patients to feel educated about their health and empowered to make decisions regarding their care. I strive to ensure all patients are welcomed, carefully listened to, and supported. I utilize evidence-based medicine and minimally invasive surgery."
Dr. Joest moved to Houston in 2014 to teach science at the YES Prep Public Schools. She then completed her medical training at University of Texas McGovern Medical School while also earning her Masters of Public Health from UT School of Public Health. She went on to complete her residency training in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Houston Methodist Hospital. She is excited to join the faculty at Houston Methodist Willowbrook Hospital to continue caring for the women of Houston and train new resident physicians.
