Yen Flores Pazos, MD

As a doctor at Sanitas, patients are my priority. For my team and me, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing the continuity of care and relationships fostered with our patients. A big plus when communicating with my patients is that I'm fluent in both Spanish and English. A good day at work means I can provide exceptional care for my patients and devote a good amount of time to everyone.

I was born and raised in Cuba, and attended medical school in San Jose, Costa Rica. When I was eleven years old, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism—secondary to Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Through my experiences with this chronic medical condition and admiration for the way my doctors cared for me, I wanted to help others in a significant way. I moved to the United States in 2015 to provide my family a crucial opportunity for progress.

When I take off my coat, I love spending time with my husband and daughters—my family is my everything. We enjoy watching movies, barbequing, and going to the beach.
