Private practice. Purpose-driven. Powerhouses. And yes, they look fabulous doing it.
Dr. Hope O’Brien and Dr. Belinda Savage-Edwards are not only brilliant neurologists, they’re trailblazers who are redefining leadership in medicine. Like me, they’ve chosen the path of private practice, and they’re building something extraordinary for their patients and communities.
Grateful for this sisterhood and all the energy, brilliance, and style they bring to the field.

I walked into the Women Leading in Neurology program looking for growth… and walked out with a sisterhood.
These women are not just some of the top neurologists in the country, they’re bold, brilliant, kind, and deeply committed to lifting each other up. I’m so proud to call them friends, mentors, and co-leaders in this journey.
Here’s to leading with purpose, passion, and a whole lot of love. The future of neurology is in powerful hands, and I’m honored to be one of them.

Honoring Women Around the World: A Message from Dr. Lourdes Benes on International Women’s Day:
Today, on International Women’s Day, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and achievements of women across the globe. As a physician, entrepreneur, wife and mother, I am constantly inspired by the incredible women I work with and those I have the privilege to care for.
Women have always played a vital role in shaping families, communities, and industries—including medicine. Yet, we continue to push for greater representation, equity, and recognition in all aspects of life. Together, we uplift, empower, and create opportunities for the next generation of women leaders.
To my fellow women in medicine, to the caregivers, the advocates, the mothers, daughters, and sisters—your dedication and impact matter. Today, we celebrate you. Keep breaking barriers, keep making history, and never stop believing in the power of your voice.
Happy International Women’s Day! 💜

Exciting Week at the American Academy of Neurology Conference in Denver!
I had the privilege of attending this year’s American Academy of Neurology Annual Conference in Denver, Colorado. The lectures were enlightening, and the speakers were truly inspirational. It’s vital to stay current in our field, and this event definitely provided that opportunity.
I’m especially proud to be a part of the prestigious Women Leading in Neurology Program. Being among such brilliant, astute, and formidable women is truly humbling and invigorating. Each day was a new opportunity to learn and grow alongside leaders who are shaping the future of neurology.
A heartfelt thank you to the AAN and President Carlaynee Jackson, MD, FAAN for organizing such an impactful conference. I’m already looking forward to next year!

My family and I live in Orlando, FL where we enjoy an active lifestyle raising our three kids.
