Andrea Escalante, Patient Care Coordinator/ Phlebotomist

I was born, raised, and currently reside in the Bay Area. I am studying to earn my degree in nursing. Working at PCD, I have a direct impact on patients' lives as I help restore their confidence from the inside out and the outside in. Skin health is essential for overall health, and taking care of our skin starts right away. At PCD we treat patients of all ages, giving us the opportunity to create lifelong relationships with patients. What I love most is getting to know our patients and learning about their journey’s.

It reminds me of my own journey and what led me to pursue a career in medicine. As a child, I spent a lot of my time taking care of my grandparents, and learning about the human body, how it heals and how resilient we are. Everyday, I am fascinated by how our body’s function, how we fight disease, and how we restore health.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my sister and father. I like reading books. I love learning new things. I also have a passion for working with kids.
