I am grateful for the opportunities I have had to work in the healthcare field for many years. Before I attended medical school, I had a previous career in respiratory therapy (RT) which I started in 1999. I thoroughly enjoyed working as an RT but decided to further my education in order to be more involved in patient care. I received a Bachelor of Science degree with honors from The University of Texas at San Antonio in 2005. I obtained my medical degree from Ross University School of Medicine in 2013. After graduating, I continued my medical training at The Brooklyn Hospital Center (TBHC) where I completed a residency program in Family Medicine in 2018. I became board certified in Family Medicine the same year. After residency, I continued working for TBHC by dividing my time working as a physician in an outpatient clinic and working at a nursing and rehabilitation facility where I served as medical director. I gained more clinical experience working at an outpatient facility affiliated with the University Health System in San Antonio but left my home state of Texas in order to move to my new home in Miami.

My love outside of medicine is my family. I have two little girls, a wonderful family in Texas, and an amazing family here in Miami that I have gained through my wonderful husband. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the Reyes and Reyes team, and I am looking forward to working with you to meet your healthcare needs!
