Anaid Hernandez-Sanchez, MD

I'm Anaid Hernandez-Sanchez, MD, a board-certified internal medicine physician who joined Phelps Health in 2020. I see adult patients (ages 18 and up) in Rolla.

In high school, I enjoyed biology, chemistry and anatomy. I had the opportunity to volunteer for a dispensary, a charity clinic for people who have no economic resources for medical care. I had a great experience there, and I believe it was a cornerstone for my decision to become a physician.

I attended medical school in Mexico and continued my medical training by completing a 3-year internal medicine residency program at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach, Florida.

I chose internal medicine as my specialty because it's a great field where I can see patients with multiple conditions and diseases in the same office. I get to know each patient as a whole person, building a connection with them.

I care for my patients as I would like to be treated, using the golden rule. I listen to them, and together we decide the best plan for treatment.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends as well as cooking. I love trying new foods and getting to know different cultures. I was born and raised in Mexico, and I’m fluent in English and Spanish. 

I offer same-day or next-business day appointments. I also offer telehealth visits, which allow patients to visit with me remotely using a smartphone, tablet or computer with an internet connection and audio-video capabilities.
