I am grateful for the opportunities I have had to work in the healthcare field for many years. Before I attended medical school, I had a previous career in respiratory therapy (RT) which I started in 1999. I thoroughly enjoyed working as an RT but decided to further my education in order to be more involved in patient care. I received a Bachelor of Science degree with honors from The University of Texas at San Antonio in 2005. I obtained my medical degree from Ross University School of Medicine in 2013. After graduating, I continued my medical training at The Brooklyn Hospital Center (TBHC) where I completed a residency program in Family Medicine in 2018. I became board certified in Family Medicine the same year. After residency, I continued working for TBHC by dividing my time working as a physician in an outpatient clinic and working at a nursing and rehabilitation facility where I served as medical director. I gained more clinical experience working at an outpatient facility affiliated with the University Health System in San Antonio but left my home state of Texas in order to move to my new home in Miami.

My love outside of medicine is my family. I have two little girls, a wonderful family in Texas, and an amazing family here in Miami that I have gained through my wonderful husband. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the Reyes and Reyes team, and I am looking forward to working with you to meet your healthcare needs!

Nelson Calvo, APRN is originally from Havana City, Cuba. Growing up he always had a passion for medicine and in 1990 started medical School and graduated in 1996 as a general practitioner in a well-recognized institution, Hospital Calixto Garcia. Nelson then completed his residency program as a Family Physician, ending as a specialist in Urology in 2002. Shortly after, he was sent by the Cuban government to Venezuela as a primary care provider to serve as a doctor in underserved communities.

Working without resources in a community, living below the poverty standard, isolated from health facilities, without economic resources, and with an extremely low level of education, created a new challenge for Mr. Clavo. He then set a goal to reduce comorbidities and mortality associated with parasitism, and chronic/acute disease.

In 2007 he moved to America in hopes of better possibilities for his family and himself. In 2018, after many years of hard work and dedication, Nelson graduated as an Advanced Nurse Practitioner and returned to the Primary Care setting again. Now with more experience, he utilized the tools he learned in medical school, residency, and life to improve and promote health in my community. As a practitioner, his goal is to continue using his extensive experience when treating patients and learning in this fast-evolving world of medicine.

Nelson Calvo, APRN is proud to be happily married with two sons, one of which has already graduated as a Medical Doctor and the other on his way to becoming a physician as well. In his free time, he likes practicing sports, dancing, and listening to music.
