Corinne Self, MD, is a geriatric physician trained at the University of Arizona and at Stanford University. In 2020, Dr. Self thought of the concept of a mobile doctor’s as an answer to older adults who decide to age in place; at the time it was also the answer for many facing an overwhelmed and inefficient healthcare system.
Dr. Self is passionate about ensuring that all Tucson families have access to advanced care planning and appropriate geriatric treatments. She places high value on open communication and positive patient relationships.
Dr. Self enjoys being outside, gardening, and spending time with her three small children.
