Vanessa Ruiz MD, FAAP, IBCLC
Dr. Vanessa was born and raised in El Paso, Texas. She graduated from the University of Texas at El Paso and went on to do her medical school training in Mexico at Universidad Autonoma de Guadalajara and Universidad Autonoma De Ciudad Juárez. She then went on to do her pediatric residency at Texas Tech University Health Science at El Paso. Dr. Ruiz saw the need in El Paso for physicians, especially those who could relate and identify with this specific community and culture. She decided to stay and practice in her hometown of El Paso to serve her community and bring about needed changes to this pediatric population.
Dr. Ruiz is a mother of two wonderful boys, Mateo and Lucas, whom she also breastfed. She encountered breastfeeding struggles and saw other mothers experience the same trials in her pediatric practice, which motivated her to pursue her International Board Certification as a Lactation Consultant. With this knowledge and confidence, she plans to help mothers who want to successfully breastfeed their children and be there for them through this wonderful journey of nurturing their little ones as nature intended them to do.
In her spare time, Dr. Ruiz enjoys running, reading, practicing yoga, watching movies, and spending time with her husband and two children.
