About Us

I immigrated to the United States in 1981, beginning my journey in Miami, Florida, where my family was living at the time. After several challenging attempts, I was accepted into a pediatric residency program in Flint, Michigan, in 1985. That marked the true beginning of my “American journey.”

The cultural shift was profound. I found myself navigating not only a demanding medical path, but also the emotional process of shedding pieces of my Argentinian identity in order to assimilate into a new way of life. That transition, while difficult, deepened my empathy—especially for the immigrant families I now serve. I know firsthand the courage it takes to begin again in a new place.

I spent three formative years in Michigan, where I became both a physician and a mother. My first son, Sidney, was born during my internship—the very first year of my American residency. That experience shaped not only my approach to medicine but also my unwavering dedication to the families and children I care for today.
