Fun Facts

The best advice Dr. Wittenburg received from her mom and otherwise moms is to “sleep when the baby sleeps.”

While in medical school, she spent a month in Beijing, China, learning how traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine are combined to treat patients. She loved learning about the history and culture of the country and eating all the delicious food.

As a native Houstonian who grew up near NASA, Dr. Wittenburg wanted to be an astronomer as a kid. “My love for science started early,” she says.
