Lilia Villarin, MD, has joined Meliseanna Gibbons, MD; Preeti Gupta, MD; Antonio Zarraga, MD; Cynthia Zarraga, MD; and Roseann Velez, FNP-BC, as the newest addition to the Bayhealth Primary Care, Sussex Campus team.

She offers primary care to ages 18 and older at the Bayhealth Primary Care Sussex Campus practice in Milford and is welcoming new patients.

“Our goal is to expand access to primary care for all central and southern Delawareans, and we continue to attract and hire talented new clinicians to make that possible,” said Lawrence Ward, MD, MPH, FACP, Bayhealth physician services and clinical integration vice president. “Dr. Villarin is passionate about applying her medical knowledge and skills to enhance the health of our community and will benefit many residents seeking a primary care physician.”

After earning her doctor of medicine degree from De La Salle Health Sciences Institute in the Philippines,  Villarin went on to a postgraduate internship at Philippine General Hospital. She completed her internal medicine residency and served as chief resident at Ascension Saint Agnes Hospital in Baltimore.

Working in emergency rooms and various inpatient clinical settings, Villarin gained experience in diagnosing and treating a broad range of medical illnesses. In her current role as a primary care doctor, she applies that specialized knowledge to treat various diseases and chronic conditions in adult patients, and provides routine and preventative care to improve their health.
