Ana Salazar, Medical Assistant
My passion for medicine as a Pre-med Biology graduate from City College of the City University of New York has led me to choose a career in the medical field. As a medical assistant, my goal is to provide the best possible care, whether it is conducting venipunctures or advocating for medical coverage. My experience in emergency medicine, urgent care and now working with Dr. Salas and PA Davis have further reinforced this passion as both providers have illustrated ideal patient care management. I wish to follow in their footsteps as I continue my journey in becoming a physician.
