Myrta I. Otero, MD

As a child neurologist, I am dedicated to providing compassionate, individualized care to the vulnerable patients and families who trust me with their care. I focus on ensuring I meet each child’s unique healthcare needs. I use age-appropriate play and conversation to get a complete history and examination. I encourage questions from the child and their family members. I want the family to know that they’re listened to and are empowered to carry out the care plan. I feel lucky to be part of my patients’ healthcare journey, even if it’s a small part. I truly enjoy watching my patients flourish over the years, each in their own way.

As your healthcare provider, I'm here to help you live your healthiest life possible. My advice and treatments are backed by the latest medical research, aimed at improving your well-being. Together, we'll explore how simple lifestyle changes like diet, exercise, and stress reduction can lower your risk of illness and complications, keeping you healthier for longer. My passion for family medicine stems from the opportunity to care for patients of all ages and treat a variety of conditions. I find great fulfillment in managing your condition and working towards better health outcomes for you. Success to me means not only improving your health but also ensuring you understand how to maintain it, reducing the need for emergency visits or hospital stays. During our appointments, for younger patients, I involve my patient and their family in the discussion, prioritizing safety and well-being. With older patients facing cognitive challenges, I provide support while respecting their independence as much as possible. My dedication to actively listening to your concerns and building strong relationships ensures you feel heard and valued throughout your healthcare journey. It brings me joy to see my patients healthier and happier because of the care they receive from me. I want you to feel understood and supported, regardless of your background, culture, or language. I'm fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and I'm committed to ensuring effective communication through interpreter services when needed. Let's work together to achieve your health goals and keep you thriving for years to come.

I enjoy getting to know my patients and their families and working with them to achieve their unique health goals.
