“Grow with the flow…”
Good morning everyone! It’s been awhile since we’ve written and we wanted to thank every one of our patients for helping our practice grow since we started back in the summer of 2016. In these short 4 years, we’ve outgrown our office and back in February, we moved into a larger one (come and visit us now in #803!!!). Also, with much fanfare, we’re happy to announce we have a new physician, Dr. Carolina Villanueva, who is joining us starting today!
Dr. Villanueva is already well known in our community as she has been practicing mainly in the Key Biscayne, Midtown, and Miami Beach areas since finishing her training in 2006. She comes to us from Argentina, where she studied medicine at the University of El Salvador in Buenos Aries. She subsequently did a residency in Pediatrics and then a fellowship in Neonatology at the Hospital Frances. After moving to the United States, she completed her training at Jackson Memorial Hospital with a second residency in pediatrics! She received her Board Certification in Pediatrics in 2008. We find ourselves very fortunate to have her join our practice and hope you will help us welcome her to the practice!
