Douglas Alorgbey, MD

Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Douglas Alorgbey, I was born in a small town called Sege in Ghana. I did most of my early schooling in Ghana before my search for further knowledge took me on a journey to Cuba. In Cuba life was not as easy as I had initially imagined but nonetheless, I managed to graduate from medical school to become the first medical doctor in my family.

In Cuba I also met my beautiful wife with whom I have three wonderful children. After graduating from medical school in Cuba, I migrated to the Caribbean where I practiced as a hospitalist and as a primary care physician for several years. I then moved to the United States in 2010 and completed my residency program in Family Medicine at Saint Joseph

Medical Center (New York Medical College) in 2015.

I am board certified in Family Medicine and I am a member of the American Medical Association, American Academy of Family Physicians and the Society of Hospital Medicine.

After my residency program in the United States, I worked as a Hospitalist with Memorial Herman Hospital System for over a year in Houston, TX before relocating to El Paso where I am presently affiliated with the Hospitals of Providence and University Medical Center, I also service local Long-Term Acute Care Centers, Skilled Nursing Facilities and Nursing Homes.

My passion to become a Family Doctor started early in my career. During my work as a Hospitalist, I sometimes felt unfulfilled in regards to the doctor-patient interaction and really missed the continuity of care. In my primary care experience during training at New York Medical College at Saint Joseph Medical Center, there was an abundant amount of knowledge to gain and I found myself attracted to the type of relationship I had with my patients and their families.

With my bilingual background in Spanish and English as well as my experience with the Spanish culture, I am more than pleased to serve the Greater El Paso area and surrounding communities.
