Deyanira (Bella) Pena

Deyanira has spent nearly 20 years in the medical field, most of them in pediatrics, and is a certified medical assistant and certified phlebotomist. Along the way, she has built a strong foundation in patient care, office operations, and teamwork, and she has learned how much a positive experience matters to patients and their families.

Her love for pediatrics is personal. Deyanira was born with a heart condition that required open-heart surgery when she was 13, so doctors’ offices and hospitals were a big part of her childhood. As a patient she saw how much compassionate, caring professionals can change a person’s life. She knows how important it is for kids and their parents to feel safe, supported, and cared for, and that’s what she works to provide every day.

Deyanira has lived in West Palm Beach, Miami, and Fort Myers. She speaks English and Spanish, which helps her connect with families from different backgrounds.

Outside of work, she loves spending time with her family and watching the sunrise at the beach. She also has a bit of a green thumb. Somehow, everything she plants seems to grow, and she likes to think the same is true for people and teams: with a little care and patience, good things flourish.
