A native of Houston, Texas, Dr. Stallworth received his undergraduate degree from Trinity University in San Antonio. He earned his medical degree and completed five years of residency training in Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery at UT Health San Antonio. During his training, Dr. Stallworth was the recipient of the Leslie Bernstein Resident Research Award from the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS).
