Dr. Renata Silva

Dr. Renata Silva is Hometown Publication's Health Watch editor. A practicing internist for over a decade, she still sees patients part-time at a family clinic while writing about medical topics and reviewing health products and gadgets. Renata was drawn to medicine in part by watching her own father struggle for years with confusing, contradictory information about managing his blood pressure — and she's made it her mission to be the clear, reliable voice she wishes he'd had. She brings that same precision to gadget reviews: honest, evidence-based, and unimpressed by marketing hype.
