Dr. Omar Matuk-Villazon — Founder of Kasoya Health

Dr. Omar Matuk-Villazon did not come to medicine by chance — he was born into it. His father, his uncle, and generations of his family before them practiced medicine in Mexico with a conviction that shaped everything about how he cares for patients today: that a physician should know every patient by name, by story, by family. Growing up surrounded by that deep-rooted tradition — and by a large extended family navigating multiple chronic illnesses — he witnessed firsthand what becomes possible when one doctor holds the full picture, and what is lost when care is fragmented. That early formation is the reason Kasoya Health exists.

He earned his medical degree from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México in Mexico City and completed his Pediatrics Residency at Jackson Memorial Hospital at the University of Miami — where he earned his Board Certification from the American Academy of Pediatrics. In Mexico, he holds dual board certification in both Family Medicine and Pediatrics, along with an active Mexican medical license — making him uniquely qualified to serve patients across both countries without interruption in the continuity of their care. In the United States, he is licensed in General Medicine and Pediatrics and holds an active Texas Medical License. He later completed executive education at Harvard University through Michael Porter's Value-Based Care program and earned his Master of Business Administration from Rice University.

Over more than two decades, Dr. Matuk-Villazon has built a career at the intersection of clinical excellence and health systems leadership. He currently serves as Chief Medical Officer of SuVida Healthcare, a physician-led organization delivering value-based primary care across Texas and Arizona. He is faculty at Rice University, teaching value-based care and risk models, and holds a Voluntary Associate Professor appointment at the University of Houston College of Medicine. Before that, he held clinical leadership roles at Lone Star Circle of Care and Legacy Community Health — always with the same unwavering commitment to patient dignity, cultural respect, and evidence-based medicine.

At Kasoya Health, every patient encounter is built on three principles he inherited from his family's medical tradition and has carried throughout his career: commitment to clinical excellence, respect for the dignity of every person who walks through the door, and the conviction that truly good medicine requires time, presence, and trust. No shortcuts. No rushing. No exceptions.

He is a competitive Masters swimmer, a devoted husband, and the father of three children. He remains deeply committed to his community — frequently traveling to Mexico City to provide care — and is an active member of the National Hispanic Medical Association and the Mexican National Academy of Medicine. At Kasoya Health, he brings together everything he has built and everything he was raised to believe — in service of the families he is privileged to care for.

"Medicine, practiced with dignity and respect, is the highest privilege I know. That is the only standard worth upholding — for every patient, every time."
