Back to Summer 2022New Doctor Coming to Town
Fabiola Puga, MD, has lived many places in the world—Guadalajara, Mexico; Cambridge, England; New York City; and even our own Yakima, Washington. And soon—very soon—she'll be in East Lewis County, serving as Arbor Health–Morton Clinic's newest physician.
Dr. Puga is currently completing her three-year family medicine residency in Tallahassee, Florida, the final step in achieving her goal of becoming a family medicine doctor. She's worked hard for it and is excited to become a part of the East Lewis County community and the Arbor Health medical staff.
A Little Bit About Her
Dr. Puga was born and raised for much of her childhood in Guadalajara. However, she went through sixth grade in Yakima, where she has family, and completed high school in Cambridge. She grew up in a family of four kids—and her immediate family will be growing by one very soon. She and her fiancé will be marrying—twice, in fact—this year. First, they're having a courthouse wedding in Tallahassee when she graduates in June, and then they're going to have a big, Mexican wedding with all their friends and family in September.
Ready to Work
"I can't wait to meet the community and start providing my services," Dr. Puga says. "I went into medicine because of my love for science and my passion to help people. The reason I went into family practice is because you get to do it all. I love all patient populations, but I am particularly keen on women's health, elderly care, prevention of diseases and wound care. I also have a particular passion for helping Spanish-speaking patients, since I am aware of the relief patients find when they can communicate in detail their discomforts."
