Dr. Diaz was born in 1953 in California, where he stayed and pursued various educational titles.
He received a double degree in nursing and biology from California State University. He then received his medical degree from the University of California, Irvine, and later followed it with a fellowship in Pediatric Pulmonary Medicine in Los Angeles.
In 1991, Dr. Diaz moved his family to Las Vegas, where he began a private practice called the Children’s Lung Specialist. That very same year, the University Medical Center named him the director of the Pediatric Pulmonary Services and the director of the Cystic Fibrosis Center.
He also pursued research projects and clinical trials that would benefit those who suffered from respiratory problems. Dr. Diaz is also published in various international publications and has received numerous prestigious awards and recognitions.
We are proud to display Dr. Ruben P. Diaz’s name on one of our local elementary schools because of his significant contributions and dedication to the healthcare system.
