Born and raised in Brazil, she moved to the United States for college โ a journey that shaped both her personal life and her path in medicine. After completing her medical training, she sought a heartwarming community where she could practice with purpose โ and found exactly that in Canadian, Texas.
A board-certified family medicine physician, she holds a Bachelor of Science in Health Science and a Master of Science in Health Science Management from Merrimack College. She earned her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine, where her passion for serving rural communities truly took shape.
She completed her Family Medicine residency at Mayo Clinic Florida, training across outpatient, inpatient, and emergency settings. During her time there, she was recognized as the Resident Patient Care Clinician of the Yearโan honor reflecting her dedication to compassionate, high-quality care. Her clinical interests include preventive medicine, chronic disease management, womenโs health, and hospital medicine. She also performs office-based procedures such as IUD placement, skin biopsies, joint injections, and vasectomies.
โ Dr. Golden joined Canadian Family Physicians in August 2026. She looks forward to forming meaningful, long-term relationships with her patients and supporting the health of our community. Her approach blends evidence-based practice with genuine connection, ensuring patients feel heard, supported, and empowered.
Outside of medicine, Dr. Golden enjoys life at home with her husband and their twin boys. She treasures family time and the balance it brings to her work in medicine.
๐ฆ Weโre excited to welcome Dr. Golden and her family to Canadianโand to our growing team at CFP. ๐
