About

As a pediatrician, I care for children from birth until they graduate from college. I have always had a great affinity and love for children and consider pediatrics to be the best medical field because we are able to support both children and their families throughout each unique developmental phase. Kids are a joy!

I strive to provide the absolute best medical care for my patients and this often involves taking time to obtain a thorough medical history...and not just rushing through a consultation. I am a fierce advocate for my patients and even practiced as a Patient Advocate for a few years while I took off a few years from practice to care for my own daughter. 

I am Cuban-American and, as such, am fluent in English and Spanish. My parents and grandparents all taught me the importance of a strong work ethic and integrity in all that I do, and I love honoring them all by practicing in such a devoted manner.
