Dr. Teresa Tam Named One of Becker's "10 Independent Practice Leaders to Know"

A national nod to independent care

We're proud to share that Dr. Teresa Tam, founder and owner of All for Women Healthcare, has been named one of Becker's Physician Leadership's "10 Independent Practice Leaders to Know." The list was published on November 6, 2026, and recognizes physicians who are keeping their practices independent and physician-led.

For our team, and for the many patients who have trusted us since 2013, this recognition reflects what we already know: Dr. Tam has built something special here in Lakeview.

About the list

More and more physicians are joining hospital systems or private equity-backed groups. Becker's profiled 10 leaders who have chosen a different path and kept their practices in physicians' hands.

The honorees range from leaders of groups with more than 100 physicians to founders of smaller practices. Together they represent nine specialties and practices from Portland, Oregon, to Long Island, New York. Dr. Tam is one of them.

What Becker's highlighted

Becker's write-up on Dr. Tam notes that she:

• Is a minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon who opened All for Women Healthcare in 2013, after 15 years in practice
• Serves as Medical Director of Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery at Ascension Saint Francis
• Has been named a Castle Connolly Top Doctor three times

What it means for our patients

As an independent, gynecology-only practice, we make decisions based on what's best for our patients, not on corporate targets. That means care plans built around you, and surgical expertise from a nationally recognized leader in minimally invasive gynecology.

Thank you to our patients, our staff, and our hospital partners for being part of this story. We're very grateful.
