I’m Christianne Reyes, born in California, but grew up in the District of Columbia, Maryland-Virginia area. I completed my BS Biology at Christopher Newport University in Virginia and my medical degree at the University of the East Ramon Magsaysay Medical Center Inc. My medical education allowed me to become a licensed General Practitioner in the Philippines. I’ve helped patients navigate a challenging and complicated healthcare system – realizing that it can be an overwhelming task – and I strived to help them access the care they needed.

Working at The Guardian Group has allowed me a look at the wide variety of cases and situations that occur in the US Healthcare system. It has allowed me to look into complex medical cases, as well as familiarizing myself with American healthcare processes for both acute and ongoing health problems.

When I’m not working towards residency in the USA or working on case files for Guardian, I enjoy playing with my dog, working out at the gym, and traveling.

I am Lizeth Andrea Molero, but I prefer to go by Andrea. I’m 30 years old and live in Manhattan Beach, CA. I’m from Venezuela and moved to the USA 3 years ago. I graduated as a Physician Surgeon in 2020 and practiced for 1 year in a military hospital in Venezuela. While there, I rotated through different services, including internal medicine, pediatrics, gynecology, obstetrics, emergency room, and traumatology. I also have a US medical assistant degree. I am very organized, dedicated, and passionate. One of my best qualities is that I put my heart and energy into every task and project I decide to complete, no matter how small or big. I am very patient oriented; I value listening to advice and suggestions, and believe that I can learn something new every day!

Joining the Guardian group presents an opportunity for me to enhance my proficiency in medical terminology in English and to network with amazing people undergoing similar experiences. The flexibility of working from home allows me to balance my studies with work commitments efficiently.

I am Kristian Lawrence M. Bercero, a historian and quality assurance editor from Bergenfield, New Jersey. I graduated with a Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of the East Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Medical Center, Philippines, in 2021 and hold a Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology from the Far Eastern University – Manila. I completed my post-graduate training at Victoriano Luna General Hospital AFP-HSC, Philippines before becoming a licensed general physician. I recently passed USMLE Step 1 and am currently preparing for the remaining exams.

My medical background has provided me with strong problem-solving skills and a keen attention to detail. In my free time, I enjoy watching movies and staying active with activities like ultimate frisbee, basketball, pickleball, and hiking.

Working with The Guardian Group is comparable to my clinical clerkship days. While there are times when you manage a patient individually, there are also moments when teamwork comes into play, which really makes the process smoother and more
precise.

I’m completing my clinical training in the United States, and working at The Guardian Group has been incredibly helpful, particularly with the medical history aspect. It serves as a great refresher for me, especially since there was a period when I wasn’t active in the field. This experience is making my work on medical histories during my clinical experience training much more efficient, and it will certainly benefit me when I enter medical residency in the near future.

I graduated with a Doctor of Medicine degree from the Far Eastern University – Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation in 2020 and hold a Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology from FEU-Manila. I completed my post-graduate training at Delos Santos Medical Center before becoming a licensed general physician.

My medical background has equipped me with problem-solving abilities and attention to detail. In my free time, I enjoy watching movies and documentaries, traveling to new places, and staying active through activities like running, swimming, and cycling.
I’ve learned a lot with The Guardian Group! One key takeaway is the significance
of the medical history; it provides a comprehensive overview of a patient’s background and greatly influences our understanding of their health. Working in the medical field exposes you to a wide range of healthcare professionals, all of whom work
hard and are often pushed to their limits, especially in the Philippines.

My experience with The Guardian Group has already emphasized the importance of thorough history-taking for my future patients. Accurate medical history helps narrow down differential diagnoses effectively. Effective history taking and editing are essential skills that will significantly enhance my abilities as a doctor. By accurately gathering and analyzing a patient’s medical history, I can gain crucial insights into their health and make informed decisions about their care. This process not only aids in accurate diagnosis but also fosters trust and communication with patients.

I am Ralph Andres and I am a jack-of-all trades. I am the Team Manager of History Editing for The Guardian Group. I was cultivated to be an ethical and responsible member of the community as I grew up in Norwalk, CA and Cerritos, CA. I am a proud graduate of California State University, Long Beach and have a degree in Bachelor of Arts in Ethnic Studies. I attended medical school in the Philippines at the University of the East, Ramon Magsaysay and graduated in 2021. I also have additional training as a post-graduate intern with the same institution, which allowed me to pass the Philippine Medical License Exam and practice as a general practitioner physician for various outpatient clinics and telemedicine platforms. I have passed the USMLE Step 1 and 2 exams and am currently studying for Step 3. I am currently in pursuit of a family medicine residency program to serve the nation that has raised me into a well-rounded individual.

Working with The Guardian Group has provided me with the flexibility to pursue my goals and still be active in the realm of medicine. My work with The Guardian Group has allowed me to observe how the legal system interplays with medical decisions and vice-versa. It has also allowed me to network with various healthcare providers and gather their perspectives on the administrative side of healthcare.

When I’m not working, I typically enjoy playing video games and building model kits. I also use my time to motivate and educate medical graduates on the procedures required to gain admission into the American medical residency programs.

I obtained my medical degree from UERM in Manila, Philippines. I underwent post-graduate training in Makati Medical Center after which I obtained my license to practice medicine in the Philippines. Before that, I obtained a bachelor’s degree in health sciences from the Ateneo De Manila University.

I have done many different roles for the Guardian, including as a manager, a medical assistant, a records and billing clerk, a historian, a QA editor, and as a liaison. One of the most important skills I’ve learned while doing all those roles was being able to adapt and apply solutions that provide the most benefit.

I learned the industry and how the company works so that I could solve problems or provide more value to our doctors. I think this was one of the most challenging experiences I had while working for the company because aside from my medical experience, I had no knowledge of the medical-legal industry when I first started out. I think what helped me overcome this issue and actually shine is my co-workers and manager. They took the time to share their knowledge in building me up so I could do the same for the company. I take this to heart and try to do the same with our newer employees. As an MD, working here has allowed me to learn the value of evidence-based medicine. It inspires me to ensure that I am competent enough to provide the proper evaluation and treatment that is fair to all.

In 2021, I earned my Doctor of Medicine degree from the De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute after completing my Bachelor of Science in Biology at De La Salle University, Manila, in 2017. Following post-graduate training in the Philippines, I became a licensed General Physician, further honing my patient interaction, management, documentation, and effective communication skills. Passionate about continuous growth, I enjoy reading diverse literature and exploring the outdoors through activities like hiking.

At The Guardian Group, I’ve developed a deeper appreciation for empathy, teamwork, and the critical importance of meticulous record-keeping in supporting accurate claims and high-quality patient care. One of my notable accomplishments includes reconstructing and refining a fragmented medical history, which provided clarity for diagnosis and treatment planning. This experience has deepened my understanding of the complexities of healthcare and strengthened my commitment to patient-centered practice. The collaborative environment and exposure to a network of healthcare professionals have offered invaluable opportunities for growth, development, and meaningful connections—these are among the most fulfilling aspects of my work at The Guardian Group.
