Dr. Dora Correa Navarro, a Peruvian surgeon, has emerged as a leading figure in regenerative medicine across Latin America, specializing in NAD chip therapy and training new professionals.
Dora Correa Navarro is a Peruvian surgeon who has built a reputation across Latin America as a specialist in regenerative medicine, particularly through her mastery of NAD chip therapy—a treatment designed to enhance cellular energy, strengthen physical performance, and promote overall wellness. Over more than a decade of clinical work and continuous training at international research centers, she has become the only certified female Peruvian physician qualified to place NAD chips, a distinction that has earned her recognition and awards in Colombia, Chile, Argentina, and Brazil.
The precision and clinical results of her technique have made her a regional reference point in her field. But Correa's work extends beyond the clinic. She spends considerable time training young professionals and volunteers at no charge, teaching them the scientific, technical, and ethical foundations of modern aesthetic medicine. This commitment to education stems from a conviction that medical progress depends on spreading knowledge widely. "My purpose is not only to innovate, but also to share," she explains. "Medicine advances when knowledge multiplies and reaches more people. Teaching is how I give back to the country."
Her teaching has reached students from across Peru, offering workshops and opportunities for scientific advancement that are shaping a new generation of practitioners who understand both the technical demands and the human stakes of their work. This dual focus—clinical excellence paired with a responsibility to mentor—has defined her trajectory and set her apart among her peers.
Correa frames her international recognition as something larger than personal achievement. Each award from abroad, she says, is a chance to demonstrate that Peru produces highly trained, dedicated professionals committed to rigorous science. She sees herself as carrying a responsibility to open doors for those coming after her, to show that Peruvian medicine belongs on the world stage.
That stage is now expanding. In recent months, she has received invitations to speak at major medical conferences in the United States, Germany, and Spain, where she will present her integrated approach to regenerative medicine. These speaking engagements represent a shift in her reach from regional prominence to global visibility, and they signal Peru's growing presence in cutting-edge medical research and practice. As she moves into this international phase, her work continues to embody the intersection of scientific innovation, rigorous training, and a commitment to advancing the field beyond her own practice.

What drew you to regenerative medicine specifically, rather than other surgical specialties?
I was drawn to the idea of helping the body heal itself rather than just treating symptoms. Regenerative medicine felt like the future—working with the body's own cellular capacity to restore function and vitality.
The NAD chip therapy seems quite specialized. How did you become the expert in Peru?
It required years of study at international centers and hands-on training. But more importantly, it required a commitment to understanding not just the technique, but the science behind it. That depth is what allows you to teach others responsibly.
You emphasize teaching and giving back. Is that unusual among specialists at your level?
Perhaps. But I realized early that if knowledge stays with one person, it dies with them. The field only grows when you invest in the next generation. That's not altruism—it's how medicine actually advances.
What does it mean to you that Peru is being recognized internationally through your work?
It means everything. We have brilliant minds here, but sometimes the world doesn't know it. When I speak at conferences abroad, I'm not just representing myself—I'm showing that Peruvian medicine is rigorous, innovative, and ethical.
How do you balance the demands of clinical work, research, and teaching?
It's demanding, but they feed each other. Clinical work teaches you what patients actually need. Research keeps you current. Teaching forces you to articulate why you do what you do. They're not separate—they're one practice.
