Yaritza Colon

MD

Specialty

Dr. Yaritza Colón believes every child deserves a pediatrician who cares as much about their family as their health. With more than 30 years of experience, she partners with parents to support healthy growth and development from infancy through adolescence, creating a welcoming space where questions are encouraged and every family feels heard. Fluent in English and Spanish, she's proud to care for families from many different backgrounds.

Her special interests include newborn care and adolescent health, and one of her greatest joys is caring for multiple generations of the same family. Outside of work, she enjoys traveling, romance novels, discovering new restaurants, cheering for the Tampa Bay Lightning, and spending time with her husband, fellow Evara physician Dr. Carlos Rodriguez, their three children, and their new grandchild.
