Dr. Vanessa Salinas
I was born and raised in Peru where I went to medical school. I moved to US to pursue higher education and completed my pediatric hematology-oncology fellowship at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. I have been involved with the hemophilia community since my fellowship. In 2011 the CHLA Hemophilia Treatment Center was accepted to participate in a twinning program in Arequipa, Peru, my hometown. This experience opened my eyes to how different the care and quality of life of people affected with hemophilia is in underdeveloped countries.
Currently I work at Hemophilia Treatment Center at the Center for Inherited Blood Disorders (CIBD). I enjoy taking care of patients and families with hemophilia and other ultra-rare bleeding disorders. I like to educate my patients and empower them through knowledge and education. In my free time I like to spend time with my family, we like hiking, fishing and playing board games.
