Celebrating American Business Women’s Day: The Women Leading CityDoc Urgent Care

September 22 marks American Business Women’s Day, a time to celebrate the accomplishments of women business owners and leaders across the country. At CityDoc Urgent Care, this holiday is significant because many of the partner physicians who own CityDoc are women who have dedicated their careers to patient-centered care.

Healthcare has long relied on the strength, compassion, and leadership of women. Today, we’re proud to highlight the voices of the women physicians who guide CityDoc’s mission and inspire both our teams and our patients every day.

“I love owning and working at CityDoc. Although I am residency-trained and board-certified in Emergency Medicine, working in the ER never gave me the chance to really sit down and talk with my patients. I believe that healthcare requires communication, mutual understanding, and cooperation in order to be successful, and CityDoc gives me the ability to practice medicine in the way that I have always wanted.”

For Dr. Anderson, owning CityDoc means being able to slow down and truly connect with patients. Her leadership emphasizes the importance of communication and collaboration. These are values that define the CityDoc experience.

“Being a woman leader in medicine for me is about more than titles or roles. As a physician and medical director, I have found my greatest purpose in building teams that work with trust and collaboration and in finding new innovative ways to deliver urgent care that truly puts patients first. Leadership is not just about guiding others, it is about creating a culture where people can grow, feel supported, and make a real difference in the lives of patients.”

Dr. Rai views leadership not as a position but as a responsibility to foster growth and create meaningful change. Her commitment to teamwork and innovation continues to shape CityDoc Urgent Care’s patient-first model.

“One motto that has stuck with me over the years is, ‘See one, do one, teach one.’ To that end, I have always been so grateful for the many mentors that took the time to teach me, guide me, support me, and encourage me. The skills I gleaned from other female physicians and leaders prepared me to do work over the years as a servant leader. The experience of ‘doing’ instilled in me a strong desire to ‘pay it forward’ and in turn mentor, teach, support, and encourage those working alongside me or coming after me. CityDoc has been the perfect environment to achieve all of that, and I feel blessed and am grateful for being able to be part of something so meaningful in my life and the lives of others.”

Dr. Nance credits the mentors who came before her for shaping her approach as a servant leader. Today, she carries that tradition forward: mentoring colleagues, supporting her team, and ensuring that CityDoc remains a place of growth and purpose.

The stories of Dr. Anderson, Dr. Rai, and Dr. Nance reflect a larger truth: women have always been vital to the progress of healthcare. From mentoring future physicians to leading innovations in patient care, women’s leadership strengthens both medical teams and the communities they serve.

At CityDoc, we are proud to be a women-owned urgent care committed to providing accessible, compassionate, and high-quality care to families across Dallas and Fort Worth. On American Business Women’s Day (and every day) we celebrate the women who make that mission possible.
