Dr. Elidania Perez started her career working in clinical trials research where she realized a gap
not only in research but in healthcare practices where patient symptoms are dismissed as
normal or funneled into a plan that is not personalized. That experience fueled her desire to
further pursue her career to create a space where patients feel seen, heard, and cared for by
their doctor. Dr. Perez’s clinical interests include autoimmune disease, digestive issues, and
hormonal health. She believes that our digestive system is truly our first brain and the
foundation of our health and that patients should create space for rest and joy to enhance their
health. Her goal is to utilize evidence-based medicine with a combination of traditional world
medicine to help achieve optimal personalized health at every visit.
Dr. Perez received her Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine at Bastyr University, her Master’s in
Medical Microbiology from Long Island University, and Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology and
Anthropology at Rochester Institute of Technology. She is also trained in Ayurvedic and
Traditional Chinese Medicine, Visceral manipulation, and Craniosacral therapy. In her spare time,
she enjoys spending time with her husband and daughter, cooking, traveling, and learning about
other cultures.

La Dra. Elidania Pérez comenzó su carrera trabajando en investigaciones de ensayos clínicos,
donde se dio cuenta de una ausencia no solo en la investigación sino también en las prácticas de
atención médica donde los síntomas de los pacientes se descartan como normales o se canalizan
hacia un plan que no es personalizado. Esa experiencia motivo su deseo de seguir adelante con
su carrera para crear un espacio donde los pacientes se sientan vistos, escuchados y atendidos
por su médico. Los intereses clínicos del Dr. Pérez incluyen enfermedades autoinmunes,
problemas digestivos y salud hormonal. Ella cree que nuestro sistema digestivo es
verdaderamente nuestro primer cerebro y la base de nuestra salud y que los pacientes deben
crear espacios para el descanso y la alegría para mejorar su salud. Su objetivo es utilizar la
medicina basada en la evidencia con una combinación de la medicina tradicional mundial para
ayudar a lograr una salud personalizada óptima en cada visita.
La Dra. Pérez recibió su Doctorado en Medicina Naturopática en la Universidad Bastyr, su
Maestría en Microbiología Médica de la Universidad de Long Island y su Licenciatura en Ciencias
en Biotecnología y Antropología en el Instituto de Tecnología de Rochester. También está
entrenada en Medicina Ayurvédica y Tradicional China, Manipulación visceral y terapia
craneosacral. En su tiempo libre, le gusta pasar tiempo con su esposo y su hija, cocinar, viajar y
aprender sobre otras culturas.
