She’s beloved in her field for her great pragmatism and level-headedness, and she has a savvy bedside manner with both her little patients as well as their parents. But Dr. Beltran doesn’t always see eye to eye with her colleagues and will let nothing get in the way of helping her kids," read the official description of the character.

Created by Shonda Rhimes, "Grey's Anatomy" remains the longest running primetime medical drama in TV history after surpassing "ER" in 2019.
