Yohjana Vazquez Rivero, APRN

As a family nurse practitioner (FNP) at Sanitas, my patients are my priority and I'm committed to providing the best care possible with the highest standards. A good day at work means I provide personalized care that is focused on patients' needs. I also love the opportunity to learn something new that helps me to grow as a professional.

I was born in Cuba and have lived in the United States since age nine. Practicing medicine has been my passion since I was a child. Both my parents were doctors who loved their profession and taught me to love the art of diagnosing and curing health conditions. After completing my education in Florida, I became an FNP, which is more than a dream come true. It allows me to improve the quality of life of the community that I serve while fulfilling my life-long calling.

When I take off my coat, I enjoy spending time with my son and husband. I always make sure that I don't finish my day without calling my parents and my sister. Family is important to me. Because of them, I am who I am today!
