Andrea G. Espinoza, MD

About Dr. Espinoza

My heart has always been in walking alongside others. Whether in the Intensive Care Unit or the Respiratory Care Clinic, it means a lot to me to listen deeply and understand how I can best support each person I meet. I'm passionate about helping patients discover the root cause of their condition and making sure there’s clear, open communication with the entire care team. Bringing together Pulmonary Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine has been a meaningful and joyful combination for both me and my workplace. Patients can count on me to be steady, present, and accountable. I also love to teach. Taking the time to explain a disease process to patients and their families is something I truly value, because I believe knowledge is power—and everyone deserves to feel empowered in their health journey.

My little something extra

I feel that life is full of music. Living in New Orleans, I have gone all in, joining a band, playing bass guitar, and co-hosting a podcast with my husband that is meant to highlight the beauty in music. Learning something new and sharing music with others is a powerful healing opportunity. Music is healing and life is like a mixtape. Sometimes we don't know what genre, mood, or feeling we will experience each day.
