Why did you choose La Esperanza Clinic? "When I was young, I dreamed of being a medical provider to help people. That evolved into being a medical provider to help take care of people in my community. You can say I'm living my dream. My patients are the people in my community. They are my people. My goal as a provider is to help people get excited about their health. I want to provide them with the medical care they need and help them know all the resources we must help them. I also want to educate them on lifestyle changes to improve their overall health with a huge focus on primary prevention of chronic disease. We can all live better and healthier."
