Michelle Atienza, RDMS
MFM Sonographer | Fetal Echocardiography Specialist
Born in Oakland, CA, but raised around the world thanks to my father’s military career, I’ve lived in places like the Philippines, Japan, Texas, Virginia, and Colorado. No matter where life took us, California always had my heart—and I eventually found my way back home. It turns out California was exactly where I was meant to be: it’s where I discovered my passion for ultrasound and where I met my fiancé.
I originally started my career path in psychology, but after discovering the world of medical imaging, I made the switch to ultrasound and haven’t looked back since. I specialize in OB/GYN sonography with a focus in fetal echocardiography, and I consider it a privilege to play a role in such an important chapter of my patients’ lives.
Outside of work, I’m all about making the most of life—whether it’s trying new restaurants, traveling, or jumping into new hobbies (welding, pottery, crocheting, ice skating, pilates, painting, dance, cheer… the list goes on). My fiancé teases me about never sticking to one thing, but really, I just love the joy of new experiences. The one constant in all the changes life has brought? My love for fetal ultrasound.
I’m truly passionate about what I do and look forward to supporting you and your growing family on this journey.
