Gladys Maria Duarte, MD

As a doctor at Sanitas, my patients are my priority and I treat them like family. I'll listen to understand their needs, addressing them accordingly. A good day at work for me is when I can see the good changes and improvements that my treatment plans are having on my patients’ health. I chose to pursue a career in medicine because I enjoy making a positive impact in peoples’ lives. Medicine gives me that opportunity every day.

I was born in Colombia and can speak Spanish along with Portuguese, which I learned from my years living in Brazil. I learned English when I moved to the United States. Trilingual abilities are a big help when communicating with patients and team members from different countries and cultures.

When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, and I enjoy scuba diving.
