Q&A with Dr. Arguello

What is your favorite animated movie or cartoon?

Tom and Jerry, of course!

What is your favorite children's book and why?

The Lost and Found Pony. Because it made me cry every time I read it to my girls when they were young!

What was your favorite childhood toy?

My Cabbage Patch doll I brought with me when I moved from Venezuela in 1990.

Who is your greatest inspiration and why?

My mom, my husband, and Dr. Emmalee Bandstra, for showing me how cool women pediatricians are!

What are your hobbies and interests outside of work?

I love gardening, cooking, working out, fostering kittens, and always trying to involve my husband and girls in more outside activities!

What inspired you to work in pediatrics?

I loved working with kids when I worked as a Ballet teacher as a teen. When I volunteered with kids at Miami Children's Hospital in college I knew that becoming a pediatrician was the right path for me.

promptly ordered the necessary blood work to make sure nothing was overlooked.

I took my son, Lucas, to see Dr. Brandi Duran, and I am very impressed with the care she provided. She was extremely attentive, listened carefully to all of Lucas’s concerns, and made him feel comfortable during the visit. Dr. Duran took the time to explain everything clearly and promptly ordered the necessary blood work to make sure nothing was overlooked. Her professionalism, kindness, and genuine care made a big difference for us. I highly recommend Dr. Duran to any parent looking for a compassionate and thorough pediatrician.
