Dr. Luis Sandoval had a lot of interests in medical school, many of them focused on underserved populations and public health. This led him to get Master’s in Public Health, with an emphasis on Health Science Administration and Management, jointly with his MD degree. He learned how health systems, including hospitals, clinics and other purveyors of health care are best organized from providing access to patients, adequate staffing, and reinforcing the importance of the organization’s mission, vision and values. During his time in medical school, he was also the co-founder of a non-profit organization: The Dengue Relief Foundation. This international organization provides financial relief as well as educational opportunities through the Ministry of Public Health in Nicaragua , in an effort to help eradicate Dengue, starting in Central America and expanding the scope world wide. He continues his involvment with this incredible cause with yearly trips.

“I couldn't have asked for a better residency program to meet my needs in the medical field. The combination of Family Medicine and Psychiatry are ideal for a holistic approach in addressing the physical needs of our patients as well as their emotional, mental, and spiritual well being. I feel that I have learned a lot during my first two years here, and hope to reinforce that knowledge during the remainder of my residency.”
