"Lynda Stafford, DO, is a board-certified physician in Family Medicine and Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine. She received her Bachelor of Administration from Texas A&M ("Gig'em Aggies!") and graduated from the University of North Texas Health Science Center-Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine, completing her internship and residency there as well. She has been practicing medicine at Heritage Family Medicine since 2007 and enjoys caring for every member of the family - from infants to adults. As an osteopathic physician, Dr. Stafford uses Osteopathic Manipulation Therapy (OMT) in a hands-on approach to healthcare. "I am happy to offer this service at Heritage Family Medicine," says Dr. Stafford. "OMT utilizes the musculoskeletal system of the body to diagnose, treat, and prevent illness or injury. OMT and common uses include the treatment of low back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and headaches." Believing strongly in a culture of service to the community, Dr. Stafford sits on two city advisory boards, volunteers weekly for a therapeutic horsemanship program and is an active supporter of her children's rowing teams. In her spare time, she enjoys family, travel, horseback riding, yoga and searching for a good Tex-Mex restaurant. Dr. Stafford is an independent contractor to Heritage Family Medicine, setting her own hours, maintaining her personal equipment and own insurance. While sharing the HFM name, space, and services, she is responsible for her own practice and clinical decisions, and is free to also work elsewhere."
