This is my conversation with medical correspondent, eye doctor, and owner of Montebello Optometry, Dr. María Cristina Zamora.

And we get experimental in this episode because we switch back and forth between English and Español and we hope that you’ll find some of it useful for the next time you find yourself in clinic with a Spanish-speaking patient.

She shares with us how she got started in optometry and gives us encouraging words for those of us thinking about starting our own practices. We also talk about our experiences being latina optometrists and how that places us in a unique position to greatly impact our communities for the better.
