University of Texas Southwestern
Medical Center, School of Physician
Assistant Studies and has over 20
years of experience in women’s
health. Her first experience as a
Physician Assistant (PA) was in
neurosurgery.
When she started her family,
she took a leave from neurosurgery,
but continued her work in the field
as an adjunct professor at the UT
Southwestern School of Physician
Assistant Studies. When she returned
to clinical practice in 2000, she
entered women’s health, where she
has been ever since.
Costello has maintained her
professional certification (PA-C)
since her first job. A PA must pass
a rigorous certification exam every
ten years (formerly every six years)
as well as complete many hours of
continuing medical education to
maintain her certification. Costello
is also a member of the Texas
Academy of Physician Assistants and
the American Academy of Physician
Assistants.
Costello loves working with her
female patients, as she can personally
relate to the many stages they may
be experiencing. In particular, she
enjoys working with the adolescent
and young adult patients and encour-
aging them to make healthy and good
choices as they enter their adult lives.
Costello has always felt the calling
to help others, and enjoys her role as
a PA where she provides personal-
ized health care and guidance to her
patients. In most cases, her schedule
allows her to to see patients in the
same week.
Costello values her quality time
with her busy family- husband, three
sons, a daughter-in-law, two step-
