General Info

About me

I have always been very close to my dad, who is a doctor, and attended medical congresses with him as a child. I never had a doubt in my mind I would become a doctor. What I enjoy most about dermatology is its versatility: it combines medical science and aesthetics. As a dermatologist, I get to remove wrinkles and also cure skin cancer.
