About Us
Dr. Wallace began practicing medicine in Huntsville in 2000, and began her private practice in August of 2001, when she joined Dr. William English. After Dr. English retired in 2005, Dr. Wallace continued caring for her patients, in addition to many of those previously cared for by Dr. English.
In 2008, our office relocated to Lowe Avenue, where we stayed until 2015. Now in the First Commercial Bank building on Whitesburg Drive, we are more conveniently located away from the Medical District. Our team has also benefited from the addition of two experienced (and much loved) nurse practitioners, Courtenay Simmons and Anna Adams.
