Ismelis Gata-Frometa, APRN

As a family nurse practitioner at Sanitas, I treat each patient as if they were family, and see beyond the challenges of each day, working with an end goal of seeing smiles on their faces. I practice medicine with evidence-based guidelines, directed to not only treat patients physically, but also emotionally. I do my best to help my patients heal and to connect with them in special ways that will help improve their health. It's gratifying when family members of an existing patient decide to become my patients.

Born and raised in Cuba, I moved to the United States at a later age. I owe my career to my best friend’s dad. Back in Santiago de Cuba, he would pick us up from school and share experiences of how he treated and cared for his patients. His dedication and passion inspired me in many ways to choose the medical field as a profession.

When I take off my coat, I spend time at home with my family. For my personal growth, I love learning about diverse cultures and am open to new perspectives. My love for nature is unmatched. I love being in close contact with beautiful things of nature, from birds chirping to blue skies and gorgeous vistas.
