My bio
My name is Erika Wert, MD. Born and raised in Orlando, I have lived in the state of Florida my entire life. My parents met at the University of Florida in the 1980s and sent all four of their children to their alma mater. The Wert family is loyal to the orange and blue! I earned my bachelors degree at UF as a health science major, with a concentration in public health. I then attended medical school at the UF College of Medicine. As a medical student, I was selected for membership in the Gold Humanism Honor Society and received the Society of Teaching Scholars Sustained Excellence in Medical Education Award. I am proud to now call myself a triple Gator, as I have continued my residency here at UF Health as both the chief resident for the Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency Program and the administrative chief for said program.
When not at work, I enjoy spending my free time painting, sketching, wood burning and cuddling my two cats. My partner, Dr. Peter Vonu, and I graduated together and couples matched at UF too! We are excited to continue our professional lives alongside our family here in beautiful Gainesville.
