Meet Our Team

Paulina Hernandez, MD

Hi! I’m Dr. Hernandez. I’m a native El Pasoan. As someone who was born and raised on the border, I am always trying to be involved with my community. Ever since I can remember I wanted to be a doctor— Specifically, I wanted to be a pediatrician. I never saw myself as anything else. After I graduated from high school, I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Biology with honors at St. Edwards University in Austin, TX in 2008. Afterwards, I graduated from medical school at Universidad Autonoma de Ciudad Juarez and subsequently completed a year of medical internship and another year of social service. In 2017, I started my General Pediatrics Residency training at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, El Paso, TX, and graduated in 2020. During this time I had the honor of being the Chief Resident in Pediatrics. I subsequently worked as a pediatric hospitalist at El Paso Children’s Hospital where I practiced inpatient medicine, attended high risk deliveries, and took care of intermediate care newborn babies.

My pledge to the community is to always provide quality medical care, and be the voice and advocate for children. I am passionate about my work and hope to spread the love to every single one of my patients.
