Collaborating with Dr. Brian Williams, the clinic ensures family practice supervision. However, if you specifically require treatment from a medical doctor (MD or DO), it’s advisable to seek an appointment elsewhere.

“Now more than ever, we need quality health care providers, and the next generation of NPs are going to be counted on to help us meet that need,” said TNP President Christy Blanco. “That’s why precepts like Upadhyay, who give so much into and energy helping NP students prepare to become quality health care providers, are so important. We salute her for her dedication to providing much-needed guidance for young NPs, keeping them prepared and enthusiastic as they enter the healthcare workforce.”
Upadhyay is a triple-certified family, women, and mental health nurse practitioner and has practiced since 2000. A graduate of Raj Kamari Amrit Kaur College in New Delhi, India, she received Women’s Health Name Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner certification from UT Southwestern and Texas Woman’s University, respectively.

She also offers clinical training to registered nurses, NP students, pre-physician assistants, medical students, and medical assistant students at her clinic. She has authored professional papers related to grief after miscarriage and depression in young adults.
The health advisor to the Mayor of Euless, she is active in the community, serving in leadership positions with Dallas Everest Lions Club (DELC) and the USA-Nepal Community Outreach Network (UNCON), a US-based non-profit organization.
