Dr. Javier Saenz may not have grown up with the most opportunities, but he made what he could with what he had. Having lived in what was considered one of the poorest counties in America, the Saenz family knew the meaning of hard work, sacrifice, and having a community. Dr. Saenz strives to maintain a positive outlook on life while balancing compassion, empathy, and his faith in his work. To him, “Heroism” is the first responders who give immediate care to patients, and that first responders do not always get the credit they deserve. He does his best to provide his patients with first-class medicine and hopes to be remembered not only as a doctor, but as a person who always tries their best to do the best. Dr. Saenz one day wishes to write a book sharing his thoughts, opinions, and memories on medicine and help to shine a light on healthcare in our community.
