General Info

About me

I am a Medical Specialist in General Surgery. I did my undergraduate studies at UCIMED and later my specialty at the University of Costa Rica.
My goal is to have a good relationship with my patients and for them to leave the consultation clear about everything about their condition and how to improve it. For me the key is to have a healthy lifestyle and adequate medical control.
I am passionate about what I do. After my specialty I have remained in constant training. I have a Specialization Diploma in Hepatobiliopancreatic Surgery, something that I am passionate about. I complement my specialty with Nutritional Support, something basic for the surgical patient.
He performed both emergency and elective laparoscopic and open surgery.
