About me

What do I think about being a Geriatrician?

It's one of the best things that has happened to me in my life. There is not an ugly case, they all seem very interesting to me and are a daily challenge in my life, I give the best to the patients and I really identify with each case, each patient and each family member, I thank God very much for giving me this vocation!
