Cynda Brown
PRACTICE MANAGER
Cynda received a Bachelor of Science degree from Texas Woman’s University. She came to us after working with the Pediatric Plastic Surgery Institute’s Craniofacial Clinic at Medical City Dallas and has been Dr. Armijo’s Practice Manager since 2013. Cynda handles the business side of the practice, working diligently to ensure that the office runs smoothly and efficiently, while adhering to Dr. Armijo’s elevated standard of patient care.
Her loving and compassionate nature motivates her to be a strong advocate for our patients. As such, she meets with all new and existing patients in preparation for their surgery and makes herself readily available to them, from their first consultation to their last follow up visit. Cynda is a proud mother of two thriving young adults. On the weekends she enjoys hiking and kayaking all over Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma, as well as spending quality time in her backyard nurturing her beautiful hummingbird garden.
ELAYA MCNABB-DUNCAN
PATIENT COORDINATOR
Elaya has been in the wellness industry for over six years. As a woman of faith with family members who have won and lost the fight against breast cancer, she found a deeper calling for patient care, which ultimately led her to accept an entry level position at the highly regarded Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute in 2022. We were so impressed with how quickly Elaya excelled in her new role, that we asked her to join our team as Patient Coordinator in 2024.
Elaya is oftentimes the first point of contact with our office as the friendly voice on the other side of the phone, acting as a liaison between our patients and staff to ensure our patients are taken care of in a timely manner. While she is relatively new to our practice, she has made it her mission to go above and beyond for our patients, bringing joy and laughter to all those around her. Outside of work, Elaya enjoys singing in her church choir, having brunch with friends after church, and spending quality time with her husband.

Certified Physician Assistant
Morgan joined our practice in 2020 as Dr. Armijo’s Physician Assistant. She assists Dr. Armijo in the operating room and plays a part in all aspects of patient care. She is certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants and the Texas State Board of Physician Assistant Examiners. Morgan received her Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology from Texas A&M University.
She then went on to receive her Masters in Physician Assistant Studies from The University Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. She is a loving wife and mother to one of the most precious little boys you have ever seen. Morgan enjoys spending time with her family and friends, traveling around the world, running and cooking. She looks forward college football season and cheering on her Texas Aggies!
MARIE RODRIGUEZ
MEDICAL ASSISTANT
Marie has been a Medical Assistant since 2003 and has worked on and off for Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute in various capacities for over 20 years. She first joined Dr. Armijo in 2013 but then made the difficult decision to leave our practice in 2018 to spend more time with her three young children. We were very fortunate to get her back in 2024, and her bubbly personality and loving spirit quickly made her a patient favorite once again.
Marie assists Dr. Armijo and Morgan with the medical side of patient care and has been an essential part of our team since her return. Marie is very involved with her children’s sports, school and church activities, and spends her free time cooking incredible homemade meals, taking care of her plants, and getting lost in a good book.
