About Vanessa

I am a Family Medicine Physician and did a residency program with an emphasis on Women’s Health and Pediatrics. As a Family Physician, I received training that is focused on holistic primary care for the entire family and therefore we can see patients from newborns to older age. I love to connect with my patients with compassion and empathy. I am interested in getting to know their story and learning what’s important to them and their medical care. I enjoy preserving health and preventing illness using healthy living like mindfulness, meditation, healthy nutrition and body movement as one’s primary medicine. However, I am also comfortable managing complex medical problems. I have served as teaching faculty for the Northwestern and West Suburban Family medicine programs in Chicago, and now I am teaching faculty for both the Family Medicine and Obstetrics and Gynecology programs at the University of Miami.


¡Hola hablo español! Nací en Lima, Perú y me mudé a Chicago a la edad de 14 años. Estudié en la Universidad de Illinois donde complete la facultad de medicina en el 2007 y la especialidad de Medicina Familiar (medicina general holística para toda la familia desde el recién nacido hasta la tercera edad) con un enfoque en la salud de mujeres y niños. Después hice una sub-especialidad en Salud Materno-Infantil. He sido parte del Departamento de Medicina Familiar en la Universidad Northwestern en Chicago y ahora soy parte de los Departamentos de Medicina Familiar y Ginecología y Obstetricia en la Universidad de Miami. Me encanta conectar con mis pacientes de habla hispana ya que puedo entender la experiencia de ser inmigrante en este país. Mis áreas de interés son la medicina holística (teniendo en cuenta cuerpo, mente y espíritu) para preservar la salud física y mental. Prevenir enfermedades mediante un estilo de vida saludable, una buena nutrición, ejercicio, meditación. A la misma vez, puedo manejar condiciones crónicas y sus complicaciones como la diabetes, presión alta, pérdida de peso, problemas de la piel, planificación familiar, asma, entre muchas otras condiciones. Hago procedimientos de clínica como papanicolaou, dispositivos, inserción de Nexplanon, biopsias ginecológicas y de piel, colposcopia, inyecciones de articulaciones, y otros más.

How I stay healthy and happy
I enjoy movement and nature. I enjoy dancing, yoga, meditation and running outdoors. I love spending time with my family and friends and love laughing with them as much as I can!
