She has developed a large following because of her ability to communicate with them in the native language so they understand.

With parents who encouraged her talent for science, Dr. Banaad-Omiotek entered the medical field at Ateneo de Manila University, where she earned a BS in biology. She completed a MD from UERMMMCI in Quezon City in the Philippines, fulfilling a longtime suggestion from her parents. Dr. Banaad-Omiotek’s uncle was also a physician, which exposed her to medicine. After serving a residency in internal medicine, she traveled to the U.S., where she further focused on family medicine. She was matched with a family practice residency, which helped her make the decision between that field and surgery.
Dr. Banaad-Omiotek is a member of the American Academy of Family Physicians and the American Board of Family Medicine, Inc. She has been in the medical profession for 25 years, and is a proud alumna in the Apeneo University Alumni Association.
