About
Diana N. Andino, MD
-
Dr. Andino grew up in Ecuador and Texas. When she is not working, Dr. Andino loves spending time with her family and friends, exploring new cities and restaurants. She also enjoys taking care of her plants and terrarium. And, she has “recently discovered the joy of glamping” as well!
I found my calling in medicine after volunteering at a local county hospital as a Spanish medical interpreter. I have a special interest in complex diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromyelitis optica (NMO). I have found incredible interest in the intricacies of diagnosis and treatment of demyelinating diseases, as well as the opportunity for strong and lengthy continuity of care. As an advocate, I will become part of my patients’ care team to help navigate choosing treatment, and provide guidance along the journey of a new or chronic diagnosis of MS or a related disorder. Each patient is unique, with challenges that are important to consider when dealing with complex disorders. I strive to help patients reach their full potential to maximize their life and independence.
