2023 LEGENDS OF HEALTHCARE
Dr. H. Montclaire Creque
Halimena Montclaire Creque, MD is a Psychiatrist with subspecialty in Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Neurology. Dr. Creque is board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and the United Council for Neurologic Subspecialties. She is the first African American female psychiatrist in private practice in Winston-Salem and the first African American Behavioral Neurologist in private practice in North Carolina.
Dr. Creque was born and reared in Winston-Salem and was inspired by her father, the late Lauritz Creque, MD who was a surgeon and pathologist. She witnessed him carefully listening to patients to better deliver care beyond the surface of their chief complaint. As early as she can recall Dr. Creque wanted to become a physician. She was Salutatorian from St. Benedict and the first African American Valedictorian from Bishop McGuiness High School. She attended Wellesley College in Wellesley, MA and concurrently completed most of her pre-med courses at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Because she embraced research opportunities at MIT and Harvard Medical, her research regarding polymeric delivery systems in the treatment diabetes was published. After college, she returned home and finished medical school at Bowman Gray School of Medicine, now Wake Forest University Medical Center. Dr. Creque completed her psychiatric residency and subsequently became a clinical Instructor in the Department of Psychiatry. In 1989 Dr. Williams started the Williams Clinic, now Family Behavioral Health. Dr. Creque worked at Winston-Salem Health Care, now Novant Behavioral Health, while continuing her private practice at Family Behavioral Health and enjoyed active hospital privileges at Forsyth Medical Hospital. In 2017 Dr. Creque joined the staff of Old Vineyard Behavioral Health where she continues to practice.
