Dr. Diana Andino, MD is a neurologist, clinical instructor and fellow at UT Health Austin’s Multiple Sclerosis and Neuroimmunology Center within the Mulva Clinic for the Neurosciences. Currently, she is completing fellowship training to specialize in caring for patients with multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis optical, and other neuroinflammatory conditions of the central nervous system.
Growing up as an immigrant in Houston, Texas, she witnessed health care challenges and the lack of specialty care physicians that focus on diseases like multiple sclerosis. Dr. Andino has a grave interest in improving access to care for underserved patients with neurological conditions across the state, especially those affected by multiple sclerosis.
While working at UT Health Austin, she has learned more about social determinants of health and how it affects access to care and outcomes in this population. In the first few months at UT Health, Andino was already invited to be a member of the Multiple Sclerosis Association of America (MSAA) Hispanic/Latinx Advisory Board and the Graduate Medical Education Council Diversity Subcommittee at UT Health Austin Dell Medical Center.
