General Info

About me

Life is about giving something to others. It is nice to be able to provide quality of life to the patients that give one the opportunity to care for them. Always serve them with the warmth and commitment that the trust they place in us by putting their health in our hands deserves.
General surgery is an art in which, based on anatomical, semiological and clinical knowledge, we decide whether, through a surgical procedure, we can improve the quality of life and health of a patient.
I like to complement my specialty with one of my hobbies: the practice of Pilates. I was certified as an instructor in 2012 and she is of great help in the pre and post-surgical rehabilitation of the abdominal wall. As well as in the postpartum.
