About Dr. Santiago
Dr. Santiago grew up in Caguas, Puerto Rico, and always felt a deep vocation for community service and accompaniment of families. With this clear motivation, she began his academic path as a board-certified cellular and molecular biologist at the University of Puerto Rico, specifically at the Rio Piedras Campus. The formation cemented her scientific understanding of the children’s development and the pediatric diseases.
Her trajectory continues in Puerto Rico’s hospitality system, where she completed his medical training. Later, she completed her pediatrics residency at Texas Children’s Hospital and Harris Health System, two recognized national institutes for clinical excellence and a human-focused approach. During this stage, Dr. Santiago strengthened her abilities in diagnosis, comprehensive patient management, and family support in different growth phases.
After finishing her residency, a mutual colleague connected him with Dr. Homero Garza. This moment was a before-and-after in her career, because it marked the beginning of her integration into Dr. Homero’s team. Her decision to be part of this practice stems from a genuine commitment: offering patience, time, and amiability to every child and each parent who comes into the office.
Out of the office, Dr. Santiago loves to explore new flavors, whether trying new local restaurants or cooking at home. This passion for gastronomy reflects her close, curious, and warm personality, which also carried her pediatric practice.
Today, Dr. Santiago continues the same mission that brought her to medicine: to provide the community with accessible, reliable care and create an experience where families can feel heard, accompanied, and safe.
At Homero Garza Pediatrics, Dr. Santiago combines a solid scientific background with a genuine vocation for children and their families. Due to her experience with different health systems and her comprehensive approach, she offers her biological knowledge on allergies, vaccines, newborn care, and more in our office.
