Jane K. Ybanez, MD

I chose to become a doctor because I enjoy providing medical care to people, learning about a broad range of medical conditions and diseases and interacting with patients who have diverse backgrounds and family histories. My approach to patient care involves patient autonomy, individualized treatment and health maintenance plans and shared decision making with patients. Outside of work, I enjoy exercising (in particular Crossfit and weightlifting). I also enjoy exploring museums and as well as cooking/baking.

I chose to become a cardiologist in order to help patients live longer and happier lives. I approach each patient’s care individually and with empathy. I specialize in non-invasive adult cardiology and advanced cardiac imaging. I regularly interpret a variety of cardiac imaging studies including echocardiograms, nuclear stress tests, and cardiac computed tomography (CT). In my free time, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my wife, children, and dog in addition to SCUBA diving and hiking.

I became a Nurse Practitioner to promote the health of patients and their families as well as provide healthcare access to the community. I believe in meeting patients where they are to achieve optimal, yet realistic health outcomes. My areas of special interest include women’s health, obstetrics, pediatrics, refugee health and gender-affirming care. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading and running.
