Dr. Alexandra Garcia, LAc DACM
Clinical Strategist | Medical Writer
I’m a healthcare professional, published writer, and former clinical director with over a decade of experience translating complex medical concepts into clear, inclusive, and engaging communication. After years of working in reproductive and hormonal health — both in hospital systems and integrative clinics — I’m bringing that expertise into the world of medical communications.
Whether developing patient-centered education tools, collaborating on cross-functional care strategies, or creating copy that bridges science and empathy, my work has always centered on clarity, rigor, and connection. I’m now applying those same values to pharmaceutical marketing and medical writing.
What I Bring
Deep clinical fluency in reproductive endocrinology, neurology, and immunotherapy
Experience communicating across stakeholders: patients, providers, hospital systems, and public-facing platforms
Advanced training in FDA-compliant writing, AMA style, and regulatory standards
Proven success translating peer-reviewed research into impactful content for diverse audiences
Commitment to inclusive, LGBTQ+ affirming language and equity in care communication
