MEN in HEALTH CARE Annette G. Folgueras, M.D.
| Annette G. Folgueras, M.D., LLC
My father inspired me to pursue a career in health care. Growing up, I witnessed his dedication and hard work as an orthopaedic surgeon. When it came time to consider a career, I naturally chose medicine, specifically anesthesiology and, subsequently, MMJ certification. I am a board-certified anesthesiologist and have been practicing for 25 years. Eight years ago, I participated in medical acupuncture training, and two years ago, I began my medical marijuana education, so that I could offer my patients something more. My MMJ practice has developed into my passion. My practice is unique in that I am a travelling physician. Prior to the pandemic and the DOH’s exception to allow Telemedicine in MMJ certification, my practice consisted of caring for patients marginalized by the process. My small practice includes patients who are home-bound, those devoid of technology, recent parolees, veterans, patient referrals and patients on disability. I have a small network of case workers and PCPs who refer patients to me because they see the value of a provider who is easily accessible and communicative. I have always been a firm believer in the adage: “Actions speak louder than words.” How I care for my patients, in the OR and outside the OR, speaks for itself. Hearing that a patient referred a friend or family member to me because of the excellent care I offered makes what I am doing worthwhile! 410-340-3144
