Her specialty training degree in obstetrics and gynecology is from the University of Texas Houston Hermann Hospital Program, where she also served as Administrative Chief Resident. Other notable awards include Chief Resident of the Year Award and Excellence in Laparoscopy Award.

A Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (FACOG) and a member of the Harris County Medical Society, the doctor is board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG). The ABOG is a non-profit organization that provides board certification for practicing obstetricians and gynecologists in the United States and Canada. 

Obstetrics and Gynecology is the medical specialty that encompasses the two subspecialties of obstetrics (covering pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period) and gynecology (covering the health of the female reproductive system – vagina, uterus, ovaries, and breasts). An obstetrician-gynecologist, or OB-GYN, is a healthcare professional who specializes in female reproductive health. 

With an unwavering commitment to her field, Dr. Diase has been recognized and awarded “Houston’s Top Docs” and “Houston’s Top Doc for Women” by H Texas Magazine, “Best Doctors in America”, “Top Doctors” and “Top 5% of Doctors” by Living Magazine, and also has received the “Patient’s Choice Award”.
