Who is Paul Walter Daum, MD? |
I am a 54 year old family man. My wife of 24 years, Brenda, is a pharmacist who is presently working at Adams Pharmacy in DeSoto
Our children are growing up rapidly. Lindsay is 23 and in her first year at the University of Virginia School of Law. Our son Brian, 21,has recently graduated from Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. Brian studied psychology and business, and was acitve in acapella singing. He helped found a group called Duly Noted, which performs regularly at Emory, and will begin touring in 2009.
After living 19 years in DeSoto, we moved to north Dallas to be closer to our children's high schools, and we now reside in Mansfield, having relocated there in January of 2006.
I was born and raised in Independence, Kansas. My family moved to Alvin, Texas in 1970, where I finished high school. My college time was spent in the Texas hill country at Texas Lutheran College. Since 1976 I have lived in the Dallas area, and consider myself a true Texan.
Although I was raised as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, I fell in love with a Catholic girl. The Episcopal Church has offered us a perfect solution. Our children were confirmed at Good Shepherd in Cedar Hill.
I am committed to the preservation of the private practice of medicine. I have steadfastly resisted the trend toward group practice and the use of physician assistants and nurse practitioners. Much of my joy in practicing medicine is derived from the relationships I develop with my patients. I am privileged have many of my original patients from 1984 still call me their doctor.
In my free time I enjoy playing golf, fishing, and landscape gardening. Watching things grow and creating beauty in and around my home is very rewarding.
My family and I excited with the new Mansfield Methodist Medical Center. It has grown and improved since I delivered the first baby on December 27, 2006. Open heart surgery has recently been added to the services offerred. The labor and delivery, nursery,post partum and outpatient surgery services are exceptional. The nursery is staffed with neonatologists affilliated with Cooke Childrens in Fort Worth, and is a quality level two nursery. I am quite satisfied, and proud of the new hospital facility.
