💙March is COLON CANCER Awareness Month 💙

I had the privilege of speaking about something I’m very passionate about — preventing colorectal cancer. Education and screening truly save lives.

Seeing patients and community members engaged, asking questions, and taking steps toward better health is exactly why these conversations matter.

If you’re 45 or older (or have risk factors), don’t delay your screening. Prevention is powerful.

Happy National Women Physicians Day 💙- 1 day late but I do my best

Being a woman physician means learning how to care deeply—for patients and for your own family—often at the same time. It’s early mornings, long days, tough decisions, and still showing up with love, patience, and purpose.

Being a doctor and a mother isn’t about doing everything perfectly. It’s about doing everything with heart. Teaching our children strength, compassion, and resilience by example. Showing them that women can lead, heal, nurture, and dream boldly—all at once.

Today I celebrate women physicians everywhere who balance white coats and motherhood, careers and family, ambition and grace. We are proof that it can be done—imperfectly, beautifully, and powerfully.

To the women who heal the world and raise the next generation: this day is for you. 💕

Breast cancer touches so many lives—mothers, daughters, sisters, friends, and loved ones. 💗
This month, we honor the fighters, celebrate the survivors, and remember those we’ve lost.

✨ Early detection saves lives—please schedule your mammogram, know your risk, and check in with your health.
✨ Let’s stand together to raise awareness, support research, and lift up those who need strength and hope.

💪 Serving the community in which we were raised

Look who I ran into this morning at Day Surgery! Great seeing you Dr. Balderas.

Little known fact: When I was a medical student, I rotated through the GI service at UT Southwestern Medical Center when Dr. Balderas was a third year GI fellow 🙂 Just a couple of valley kids doing their thing! 💪🏽
