Marisa Gadea, M.D.
Dr. Gadea, our beloved physician and managing partner, fulfilled her lifelong dream of becoming a pediatrician, graduating from the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba in 1983. After completing her residency and NICU training in Argentina, she moved to the United States. Driven by her passion, she conducted clinical research in infectious diseases before embarking on a second residency at the Marshall School of Medicine, earning distinctions as Alpha Omega Alpha and Chief Resident.
