Michelle Lu, MD, FACOG

A native Texan, I am excited to join the team at Moontower in delivering exceptional, safe, and patient-centered care to our amazing Austin community!

I was born and raised in the Dallas area before venturing out of state to pursue my Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical-Biological Engineering (Course 10B for those in the know!) from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, MA. Following my undergraduate training, I returned to Dallas for medical school at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. I completed residency at the University of Alabama at Birmingham in Birmingham, AL, which serves as the major academic referral center for the state and surrounding regions. During residency, I received the award for the Best Resident Research for my work on various projects, which have been published in Obstetrics & Gynecology (Green Journal), American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology MFM, and JAMA. After completing residency training in 2021, Texas called me home one last time, and I’ve been honored to serve and care for the Austin community since.

As an Ob/Gyn provider, I strive to educate and empower patients and families as they navigate all phases of their life. It is not lost on me what an incredible privilege it is to be a part of some of the biggest moments in our patients’ lives, and I want to be the provider for you and yours that I would want caring for mine. Outside of work, I enjoy exploring Austin with my family, friends, and two rambunctious cats named Bailey and Tito.

I’m so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of your journey—thanks for letting me be here!
