Connect with Compassionate Care
Meet Dr. Haggar, Your Partner in Hormonal Health
Dr. Michelle Haggar's medical journey is a testament to resilience, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to transformative care.
Born in London, England and shaped by a childhood spanning Africa and Cyprus, her life took a profound turn after losing her parents as a teenager. Fueled by a desire to make a difference, she ventured to the U.S., to pursue a career in medicine. ”I saw the many challenges someone can face with a complex chronic disease and I wanted to be part of the solution” she says. Despite not having any relatives or friends in the medical field, Dr. Haggar's unyielding determination prevailed against numerous hurdles. "I've worked hard, but I've also been lucky and believe in divine intervention," she reflects on her journey, showcasing both her tenacity and gratitude for her achievements.
Her pursuit led her through a rigorous Internal Medicine residency at Baystate Medical Center/Tufts University, Massachusetts, followed by an Endocrinology fellowship at Tulane University, Louisiana.
As a speciality, Endocrinology resonated profoundly with Dr. Haggar—its intellectual depth mirrored her inquisitive, detail-oriented nature. She found purpose in managing complex conditions, and providing ongoing education and counseling while supporting patients holistically through a disease process. As an Endocrinologist, she feels privileged to be able to build long-term relationships with her patients, and views these relationships as partnerships. "We have a common goal that cannot be accomplished without collaboration" she adds.
Practicing in Louisiana since 2012, Dr. Haggar's dedication culminated in the establishment of her specialized clinic in Covington in 2023.
Opting for the direct care model, no insurance accepted, she prioritizes patients over administrative rigmaroles, fostering an undiluted patient-physician bond. Philosophically, she feels strongly that medical care is a process between a patient and physician, and third parties should not intrude on this relationship.
Beyond medicine, Dr. Haggar finds solace in literature, culinary pursuits, metaphysical explorations, and globetrotting adventures alongside her husband and two sons. Her life's dedication remains a testament to direct personalized care, compassion and unwavering support for each patient's journey toward well-being.
