Excelling in her field for almost three decades, Dr. Go is an established professional who currently holds licensure as a physician in the states of New Mexico and Virginia, as well as in the Philippines. Holding her physicians license for the Philippines since 1991, she became board certified in internal medicine through the Philippines College of Physicians in 1996.

Presently active with Presbyterian Medical Services in Alamogordo and Artesia, NM, she holds an incredible amount of responsibility coordinating her facilities.
