About Natalia A. Palacio, MD

As a primary care physician, my greatest privilege is getting to know my patients, not just their health history, but who they are as people. I believe that more individualized care starts with a real connection, where you can feel heard, respected and supported every step of the way. 

Whether you're coming in for a routine checkup, managing a chronic condition or simply trying to stay ahead of your health, I focus on patient-centered care that's tailored to your needs. I have more time to listen, answer questions and work together with you to build a plan that fits your life. 

From preventive medicine to chronic diseases, I bring an experienced, compassionate approach to every visit. I speak English and Spanish, and I'm committed to making care feel welcoming for all. 

I'm proud to be affiliated with Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas, which allows me to speak with a network of specialists and help advocate for your care when you need it. 

To me, being a physician isn't just a job, it's a calling. It's an honor to be part of your life and to walk alongside you as a partner in health.

Dr. Palacio is so thorough, a terrific GP and quarterback for my healthcare. She listens well, is empathetic, and best of all, highly competent.

I’m so pleased that I decided to become Dr Palacio’s patient. She just took an urgent call from me and picked up immediately. I’ve never had another Dr do that. She’s thorough and caring. I highly recommend her.

My doctor retired and his office referred me here. I was told they were not taking any patients with controlled substances. I'm an engineer in his 50's with a xanax prescription for anxiety - a true menace to society, I guess. Probably a good thing anyway, I did want to put some distance between me and Texas Health (a true menace to society...)

Having a chronic illness for the past 11 years, I have left many exam rooms in tears due to feeling dismissed, unheard, & unimportant. I cried tears of joy at my first appointment with Dr. Palacio because I had FINALLY found someone who saw that I was in crisis, truly heard me, had genuine concern for my well being, and assured me I would get the help I needed. HIGHLY recommend.

When I called to make my appointment. Mrs Sonya was amazing. She was very precise. Told me what I could expect. When I arrived to the office, It was clean and staff was very friendly. Dr Natalia is amazing. She took time with me and didn't rush anything.
Griselda the nurse was professional and kind. She got my blood on the first attempt. That does not happen often. My previous primary care Doctor retired. I am excited about going forward with Dr Natalia.

I needed to find a new doctor as my current one is retiring. I had known Dr. Palacio when I worked at Texas Health Dallas so I chose her. She really listened to me and took her time with me so this was a painless transition.

Dr Palacio, I met for the first time on Monday. She is a good listener, she gave satisfying answers to all my questions. I lived in a different state for 10 years just because I didn’t want to loose my primary care doctor but when I met Dr Palacio, I think it was worth the relocation to Dallas, Texas .👍. Just wanted to add that every single staff that attended to me before seeing and after seeing Dr Palacio treated me with respect and made me feel at ease!

Dr. Palacio is a warn and caring physician who listens to her patients. She shows genuine concern. She is the first physician in two years since I have been diagnosed with Type II Diabetes that actually took the time to address my disease and sent me to Diabetes Education that none of the others have done. I highly recommend her!

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.
