Isabella Santana

“I believe that everyone deserves to be treated with kindness and respect, no matter who they are or who they love.”

Isabella grew up in the Dominican Republic and always knew she wanted to be a doctor. She moved to Oslo to pursue her dream of practicing medicine and quickly fell in love with the city's charm. Isabella is openly gay and has faced some challenges in her personal life, but she never lets that affect her work. She takes great pride in providing compassionate care to all of her patients, regardless of their backgrounds or beliefs.

What inspired you to become a doctor?

I have always been passionate about helping others, and medicine seemed like the perfect way to do that. I love being able to make a positive impact on people's lives, especially during their most vulnerable moments.

What has been the most rewarding part of your job so far?

There are so many moments that have made me feel grateful to be a doctor. But I think the most rewarding part is when I see my patients recover and regain their strength. It's a reminder of the incredible resilience of the human body and spirit.
