This perspective enables her to create comprehensive and meaningful management plans for both individual patients and their families.
Dr. Ligia has a special interest in Women's Health, Children's Health, Antenatal Care, and Preventative Medicine. Outside of her professional life, she dedicates her energy to raising her three daughters alongside her supportive husband, cherishing the family-focused values that drew her to family medicine in the first place.
