The Full Story

Meet Elda E. Villarreal, MPAS, PA-C

Board-Certified Physician Assistant | Wellness Bay Primary Care | Georgetown, Texas

Hello, I’m Elda. I’m a physician assistant, a former science teacher, and a Georgetown neighbor. What I enjoy most about primary care is getting to know the person sitting across from me—their concerns, their everyday life, and what they hope to feel better doing. I look forward to building that kind of relationship with you.

​

My Path to Medicine

I grew up in the Rio Grande Valley in a large family. Both of my parents experienced disabling accidents early in their lives, so medical appointments and health concerns were a familiar part of our household. Along with my own experiences as a patient, that gave me an early understanding of how much healthcare can shape a family’s daily life.

I was also the child who wanted to understand how everything worked. Science was always my favorite subject, and that curiosity eventually led me to teaching. After earning my Bachelor of Science in Biology and Chemistry at the University of Texas at Brownsville, I spent seven years teaching Earth Science, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.

Losing people close to me deepened my desire to help others through medicine. I returned to school and earned my Master of Physician Assistant Studies at the University of Texas Pan-American. Today, I am certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants and licensed by the Texas Medical Board.

Over my 14 years as a physician assistant, I have worked in settings including family medicine, geriatric care, urgent care, and occupational medicine. Those experiences have taught me a great deal, and they have brought me back to what I value most: caring for people over time and being someone they can turn to as their health needs change.

What You Can Expect During a Visit

Our visit starts with listening. I want to hear what has been bothering you, how you have been feeling, and what you most want help with. We’ll review your medications, talk about your overall health, and work through your questions together.

The teacher in me is still very much a part of how I practice. I enjoy explaining what a diagnosis means, why I’m recommending a treatment, and how everyday habits can support your health. If something is unclear, please ask. I want you to feel comfortable telling me when a recommendation feels difficult to follow or when you have concerns about a medication.

Together, we’ll work toward a plan you understand and feel comfortable putting into practice. Preventive care is part of that conversation, too, with attention to what we can do today to support your health in the years ahead.

​

Care That Is Personal to Me

I have a particular interest in diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart and metabolic health. I’ve seen the effects of these conditions within my own family, so helping patients manage them means a great deal to me.

We’ll talk through your blood sugar or blood pressure readings, review how your medications are working, and look for practical changes that fit your daily routine. I want you to understand what we’re working toward and feel supported along the way.

​

At Home in Georgetown

I moved to Georgetown in 2017 and bought my first home here. I fell in love with the natural beauty of the area and the sense of community, and I’m grateful to call it home.

I chose Wellness Bay Primary Care because I wanted to return to personalized, community-based medicine. Building lasting relationships and caring for the people in my own community are exactly what I was looking for.

​

Let’s Talk in the Language You Prefer

I am fluent in English and Spanish and comfortable conducting your entire visit in either language. Please choose whichever feels most natural to you.

Si prefiere hablar en español, con gusto podemos realizar toda su consulta en español. Quiero que se sienta en confianza para compartir sus inquietudes y hacer todas las preguntas que tenga.

​

A Little About Me Outside the Clinic

Outside of work, I love traveling, exploring new places, and bringing friends and family together. Planning a celebration is something I especially enjoy, from the thoughtful little details to seeing everyone have a wonderful time.

I also have two beloved senior Shih Tzus, Toby and Isaac. They’re a father-and-son duo and a joyful part of my life.

Music has been with me since childhood. I played the flute and participated in theater in school, then played violin and sang in a mariachi ensemble in college. I continued performing semi-professionally for many years, and I still love supporting local music and live theater.

​

A Personal Welcome

Choosing a healthcare provider is a personal decision, and I would be honored to be part of your care. Your concerns matter to me. I’ll listen, help you understand your options, and treat you with the compassion and respect I would want for my own family.

I look forward to meeting you.
