AUSTIN, TX, December 18, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Roberto Miranda, MD, has been included in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Dr. Miranda's distinguished medical career is marked by a commitment to patient-centered care, innovation in regenerative medicine and a dedication to serving diverse communities. Since 2000, he has served as the owner and physician at Roberto Miranda, MD. PA.

in Austin, Texas, where he has focused on providing comprehensive family medicine. In this role, Dr. Miranda adopted a holistic approach to patient care, emphasizing the identification and treatment of root causes rather than merely addressing symptoms.

Notable for its focus on hormone replacement therapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments, Dr. Miranda's practice addresses issues such as menopause in women and erectile dysfunction in men. He also provided care for common ailments, including sore throats and allergies. Dr. Miranda's work in PRP therapy was inspired by his own experience with chronic pain and successful recovery through the procedure, which led him to pursue specialized training in Alabama and St. Louis.

Prior to establishing his family practice, Dr. Miranda worked as an emergency room physician from 1997 to 2001, gaining extensive experience in acute care settings across multiple hospitals in Austin. This period followed his retirement from surgical practice, which he concluded after approximately a decade due to the demanding nature of the profession and challenges faced as a foreign-born physician seeking referrals from local general practitioners. Despite these obstacles, Dr. Miranda maintained a strong commitment to patient welfare, often providing pro bono care for uninsured patients, at times constituting up to 40% of his caseload.

During his surgical years, Dr. Miranda confronted structural barriers that made the profession unsustainable despite his extensive training and passion for general surgery. As a foreign-born physician who had completed his surgical residency at the University of Florida, he entered practice with strong credentials and confidence. However, limited referrals from local general practitioners — many of whom viewed foreign-trained doctors as second-tier — compelled him to take calls across five hospitals to build a patient base.

This grueling schedule left Dr. Miranda without rest or time for a personal life, ultimately leading to his decision to leave the field he had envisioned pursuing since his first day of medical school. His surgical expertise, though hard-earned, went underutilized as he shouldered a caseload composed largely of uninsured emergency room patients receiving pro bono care.

Earlier in his career, Dr. Miranda practiced as a general surgeon after completing rigorous surgical training at the University of Florida in Gainesville. He excelled in high-pressure environments, particularly during his tenure in Kentucky, where he quickly gained experience and recognition for his exceptional bedside manner and ability to connect with patients on a personal level.

Dr. Miranda is certified by the American Board of Surgery as a board-certified general surgeon and holds fellowship status with the American College of Surgeons. These credentials reflect his commitment to maintaining the highest standards of surgical practice throughout his career.

Dr. Miranda's journey began in early childhood, when his mother asked if he wished to enter the seminary, an invitation shaped by his family's Catholic faith. Although he did not fully understand what the commitment entailed, he agreed, and soon distinguished himself through exceptional academic performance. Consistently at the top of his class, he earned the recognition of his bishop, who selected him for the opportunity to study theology in Rome.

During a visit home, however, Dr. Miranda realized that the priesthood was not the path he wished to pursue following a pivotal personal experience. Choosing instead to pursue medicine, he began his medical studies in Germany before transferring to Brazil, where he earned his Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of São Paulo in 1969. Dr. Miranda later moved to the United States, where he has lived and built his career for 55 years as of 2025.

Beyond clinical practice, Dr. Miranda has demonstrated a longstanding commitment to community service through volunteer work at clinics and extensive pro bono medical care for underserved populations in Austin. His dedication to improving public health outcomes is further evidenced by his efforts to educate patients about preventative care and healthy lifestyles, particularly those managing chronic conditions such as diabetes.

Outside his career, Dr. Miranda enjoys spending time with loved ones, socializing with friends and traveling. He is fluent in six languages—English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, and German—and values opportunities for cultural enrichment, particularly through classical music. Looking ahead, Dr. Miranda aspires to retire alongside his wife while continuing to provide support for his children, a goal that underscores his belief in living a meaningful and well-rounded life.
