Biography

Dr. Woldeyes is originally from Ethiopia and received his MD degree from Gondar College of Medical Sciences. He practiced as a general medicine practitioner for four years prior to moving to the United States in 2000. After completing internal medicine residency training at Georgetown University/Washington Hospital Center, he worked as a full-time academic hospitalist for more than six years at one of the largest teaching hospitals in the Washington, DC area (MedStar WHC). As Dr. Woldeyes decided to relocate to Dallas to be close to his aging parents, he was attracted to UT Southwestern and the Parkland Health & Hospital System Hospitalist Program by the opportunity it presents and the amazing team of hospitalists who daily deliver compassionate, integrated, patient-centered care for acutely ill patients at Parkland Memorial Hospital.

Outside of work, Dr. Woldeyes enjoys spending time with his family, reading, following sports, playing ping pong table tennis.
