About

Dr. Victoria Wheeler is excited to join the Renaissance Women’s Group to provide comprehensive, personalized obstetrics and gynecologic care to women in the Austin, TX community. She believes that all women are deserving of wellness, support, and medical care especially during the most sensitive stages of their lives including high-risk obstetrics, contraception counseling, and gynecological cancer prevention.

Dr. Wheeler hails from a large family of physicians and is a native of Greenwood, MS in the center of the Mississippi Delta. She completed her undergraduate training at Millsaps College in Jackson, MS where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in English Literature with honors while participating in 3 years of NCAA Women’s Lacrosse. She was a member of the Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Tau Delta honor societies. As an avid writer, she accumulated notable awards for essays that were published throughout college and medical school including an essay that was read at her commencement ceremony in 2013 and became required reading for the incoming classes. During her gap year between college and medical school, she mentored and taught sexual education classes to teens in her local community and led weekly aerobic classes in her church community.

She completed medical school at The University of Mississippi Medical Center in 2018. She completed residency at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, which is the major academic referral center for the surrounding states of Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia, and the Florida panhandle. There, she participated in the leading edge of clinical research, and she played integral roles on the minority, diversity, and wellness committees.

Her academic research focused on the application and effectiveness of menstrual suppression for women undergoing chemotherapy for hematologic malignancies. She is an active member of the American Medical Association, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and the National Medical Association.

In her free time, she enjoys spin classes, music concerts, reading, traveling abroad, and long walks with her golden retriever, Simba, exploring her new city of Austin.
