Dr. Sarah Stelzner (b. 1967) brings her cultural heritage into her work. As a woman of Mexican-Nicaraguan heritage who spent part of her childhood in Latin America, her ability to speak Spanish and understand cultural differences greatly enhances the trust and communication between her and her patients. Dr. Stelzner has used these skills while training in primary care at the University of California, San Francisco, serving patients in the Mission district at San Francisco General Hospital, and volunteering in the Haight-Ashbury Free Medical Clinic.
