Gladys Balderama, M.D.

I was born in the Philippines, but grew up in Northern California and studied Biological Sciences at UC Davis. I knew I wanted to become a primary care physician even before I applied to medical school. I was inspired by my father, who was a primary care physician in a rural area in the Philippines, and instilled in me a sense of curiosity, especially in science. I was also inspired by my mother, the most selfless person I know, and who taught me about compassion, generosity, and humility. I became a physician because of the belief that preventative medicine, health education, and managing chronic health conditions are the most effective ways for people to lead long and healthy lives. I consider practicing medicine to be a privilege, believe that each person deserves individualized care, and that doctors should be partners in health, not dictators.
