Shelena C. Lalji MD

Shelena C. Lalji, M.D., a native to India, came to the United States at age 10. Dr. Shel, as her patients call her, is the founder of Dr. Shel Wellness and Medical Spa, and has now served the greater Houston area for over 17 years. She is an honor graduate from Emory University in Atlanta and majored in psychology and religion. She earned her Doctorate of Medicine at Emory and got board certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology. Dr. Shel continued her postgraduate training at the Medical College of Georgia in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

After 13 years of concentrated traditional OB/GYN practice, Dr. Shel left one of the most prominent medical industries and began on the path to create a niche, and fulfill the demand in Houston and surrounding communities for wellness services. Dr. Shel's passion stemmed from women's health and led her to create Dr. Shel Wellness and Medical Spa where she focuses on preventative and integrative aspects of medicine.

Dr. Shel is a Fellow of The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and has won several awards including the “Outstanding Professional” award from the Houston Asian Chamber of Commerce, the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO®) Stars Award Finalist and the Steed Society’s Top 25 Women of Houston Award Nomination.

Dr. Shel’s passion and mission is to help find the causes of symptoms and treat the causes, not the symptoms. Dr. Shel has been fortunate to treat tens of thousands of patients over the past 20 years including local and national celebrities such as Grammy Award winners to NFL players.
