Karla Ferretti Cisneros Xavier, MD

Dr. Karla Ferretti C Xavier was a previous pediatrician, pediatric neonatologist, and also later had some training in pediatric cardiology and was an expert in pediatric intensive care working in Brazil with many years of experience. She moved to the US due to her husband working as an Engineer in the automobile industry, currently working at GM.

She completed her Pediatric residency at the University of Toledo in 2019 and initially worked with Locum up North Michigan as a general Pediatrician at ER, outpatient and newborn nursery and deliveries.

In 2020 she started working with Dr David Thorrez, Dr. Boyer and the great team at Mercy Christian Health. It was a blessing working there until December 2023 when the clinic had to close due to financial constraints.

As a Pediatrician, Dr. Xavier considers it a privilege and obligation to preserve and support the most precious gift we all have, the gift of life. She believes in treating patients using an integrated approach including caring for the physical, mental, cognitive, social and spiritual welfare of the child. Each of us has a particular purpose in this world, a mission that The Lord has given. She believes it is the role of those who work in the medical field to strive to preserve life so those in their care are able to reach their full potential and complete their mission on earth.

She is fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
