Micaela Esquivel, MD, FACS
Clinical Associate Professor, Surgery - General Surgery
BioDr. Micaela Esquivel is a board-certified, fellowship-trained surgeon specializing in bariatric (weight loss) and minimally invasive surgery at Stanford Health Care. She is also a clinical associate professor in the Department of Surgery, Division of General Surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Dr. Esquivel specializes in foregut (upper digestive tract) surgery and bariatric surgery using robotic and therapeutic endoscopic approaches. She developed the Bariatric Endoscopy Program at Stanford Health Care and treats patients with hiatal hernias, reflux, and motility disorders of the esophagus and stomach.
As a bariatric surgeon, Dr. Esquivel specializes in endobariatric procedures, such as endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty and intragastric balloon. She also treats patients who have regained weight after bariatric surgery. This includes providing endoscopic sleeve revisions and reductions, as well as transoral outlet reductions for patients who have had gastric bypass.
Dr. Esquivel is passionate about helping everyone access the care they need. She values work that minimizes disparities and promotes health equity. She has studied access to surgical care in California and countries around the world, including Zambia and Guatemala. Her current work focuses on disparities in bariatric surgery.
Dr. Esquivel has presented her research at many conferences, including the American College of Surgeons Clinical Congress and the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS). In addition, she has written more than two dozen articles on topics such as surgical outcomes, weight loss before bariatric surgery, and global access to surgical care. Her work has appeared in many prominent journals, including JAMA, The Lancet, World Journal of Surgery, and Journal of Surgical Research.
Dr. Esquivel is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons. She is also an active member of ASMBS, the American Foregut Society, and the Society of American and Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons. -
Amin Etemad, MBA, SSGB
Quality Programs Manager, Surgery
BioAmin Etemad holds a Bachelor's degree in Management from HEC Montréal and an MBA in Medical Management from the University of St. Thomas in Minneapolis, earned in 2008. He began his career as an Operations Manager at Amazon’s MSP5 fulfillment center in Shakopee, MN, before moving to Allina Health, where he served as a Process Improvement Manager within the supply chain team. Amin later transitioned to a central Quality Improvement role at Allina, where he contributed to Minnesota’s COVID-19 surge planning for the ED and ICU in 2020.
In the fall of 2020, Amin joined Stanford Health as a Quality Improvement Project Manager in Radiology. In 2023, he moved to the School of Medicine, where he now leads the quality improvement team in the Department of Surgery.
Outside of work, Amin is passionate about tennis, soccer, and music—playing both acoustic guitar and a traditional string instrument called the Santoor. He is fluent in five languages, having lived on three continents and in five countries. Raised in a family of over 10 medical professionals, Amin has a deep love for travel, exploring new cultures, and experiencing diverse cuisines. -
Ali Etemadi
Postdoctoral Scholar, Nephrology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am a clinician and data scientist focusing on drawing causal inferences from observational data when randomized controlled trials are not feasible. Currently, my work centers on patients with late-stage chronic kidney disease, a rapidly growing population for which evidence is limited due to their frequent exclusion from RCTs. At the moment, I aim to move towards precision medicine approaches to optimize outcomes for these patients.

Susan Payne Etheridge
Adjunct Clinical Professor, Pediatrics - Cardiology
BioDr. Etheridge is a board-certified pediatric cardiologist and electrophysiologist. Since beginning her tenure in Pediatric Cardiology, her research focus has centered on Long QT Syndrome (LQTS) and other genetic disorders leading to sudden death in the young. She directed local and multi-center collaborative projects concerning LQTS, supraventricular tachycardia and Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome and Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. She has actively participated in multicenter projects of genetic conditions associated with sudden death in the young, including Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (CPVT), Timothy Syndrome, Andersen-Tawil Syndrome, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, sudden death in athletes, and fetal LQTS. She was the local PI for multicenter projects on hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, fetal and nonfetal LQTS, Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome, Timothy Syndrome and CPVT. She is an an invited speaker at local, national, and international meetings where she speaks largely on the genetic susceptibility to sudden death in the young and WPW. She has published book chapters and invited editorials and articles related to heritable sudden death conditions and sports participation and arrhythmias in congential heart disease.
Her experience as a pediatric electrophysiologist, a Fellow in the Heart Rhythm Society, past present of the Pediatric and Congenital Arrhythmia Society, member of the America College of Cardiology Electrophysiology Committee and Vice President of the Sudden Arrhythmia Death Foundation underscores her interest in and service to children and adults with arrhythmic disease. Her years on the American Board of Pediatrics and her past leadership role within the fellowship speak to her dedication to the next generation of pediatric cardiologitsts. Dr. Etheridge created and led the University of Utah Inherited Arrhythmia clinic. This is a collaborative clinic that focuses on children and adults with familial sudden death conditions with input from genetics, adult and pediatric electrophysiology and child psychology. The goal was the pre-symptomatic assessment and sudden death prevention in patients with inherited arrhythmia conditions and care for the child and the entire family. The team followed the nationally defined protocols for this assessment and engage our research, genetics and adult electrophysiology colleagues in this assessment. She is embarking upon a similar role at Stanford University. As the Vice President of the SADS Foundation, she is intimately involved with families with these conditions. She takes part in and has developed educational seminars concerning these conditions as part of her involvement with SADS. She often faces questions concerning sports participation in children and young adults with inherited conditions that put children at risk for sudden death. She is a part of the writing group for a recently published consensus document on return to play with heart conditions from the Heart Rhythm Society, American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association.
She has dedicated some of her clinical work to the care of adults with arrhytmias in the setting of congenital heart disease and has a clinic for this population in California, Alaska and Idaho. She is scheduled to co-chair the upcoming HRS document on arrhythmia management in adults with congenital heart disease.
