About
Infectious diseases have shaped the history of humanity; this is one of the many reasons why Dr. Zambrano chose Infectious Disease as her specialty. It is important to her that her patients feel respected, empowered, and heard when it comes to their health concerns. Dr. Zambrano strives to achieve this by providing evidence-based, personalized, compassionate care. She enjoys the management of infectious diseases that range from simple infections to more complex cases that require a multidisciplinary team, managed in collaboration with our local physicians and surgeons. Dr. Zambrano is an Infectious Disease specialist who was Chief Fellow at the University of Washington where she completed her Infectious Diseases training; prior to UW, she completed her residency at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital and attended medical school at Universidad Central de Venezuela in Caracas, where she was born. Dr. Zambrano enjoys working with patients from all cultures and backgrounds. She has participated in several international healthcare projects in Mexico, Nepal and Tanzania and is a native Spanish speaker. Dr. Zambrano looks forward to raising her son, serving the Santa Barbara community, and continuing meaningful community and global healthcare work.
