About Dr. Zavala-Spinetti

I come from a big family. I was raised in Venezuela with 5 brothers and sisters, a Pediatrician was a very important person in our lives.

After graduating from medical school, I completed my Pediatric Residency Program at Austin Pediatric Education Program at Austin, Texas. In 2000, I became Board Certified while serving as Chief Resident. In 2001, I moved to New Orleans for three years of Infectious Diseases in Pediatrics.

In 2004, I decided to move to McAllen, TX. and I've been serving this lovely community since then.

Being a mother of two children, a boy and a girl (who help me distribute stickers to my patients after school hours), helps me understand and provide the best service to my patients' and families' daily needs.

I am commited to guide you in the magical journey of raising healthy and happy kids.
