Yesim Calafell, MD

Dr. Yesim Calafell became a doctor because she understands what it's like to be a patient. "When I was in middle school, I got sick from drinking contaminated water," she says. "I needed to be hospitalized, and from that moment on, I felt the vocation to be a doctor." It's her empathy and dedication that really connect Dr. Calafell to her patients. She makes it a point to get to know each person who comes to see her and treats him or her like a family member. "Seniors need a doctor to support them in this stage of life. I let them know I'm always available for them. They matter to me and they can count on me at any time."
