Catalina Triana, MD

Dr. Catalina Triana is a board-certified family medicine physician at Catalina Triana MD in Walnut Creek. After 25 years in family medicine, Triana chose to practice the way medicine has always felt right, unhurried and relationship-centered, built on the belief that genuine presence over time matters as much as any prescription.

Wellbeing gets organized around five areas, how patients eat, rest, move, love, and think, less a checklist than a starting point for conversation. Stress, major transitions, and anxiety show up in the body too, and with advanced training in behavioral medicine, Triana treats the whole picture in the same room rather than referring patients elsewhere.

Care is available in English and Spanish, and Triana brings real experience and comfort treating LGBTQ+ patients, including transgender and gender-expansive individuals, as a natural part of the practice. Triana trained at the University of Texas Medical Branch and went on to lead faculty development programs at UTMB, John Muir Health, and UCSF.
