General Info

About me

Combining both my intentions to seek the well-being for my patients with the fact that both my parents are doctors, I was inclined to study Medicine. I specialized in Ophthalmology because it combines the surgical area and medical pathology very well. Sight is one of our most important senses and it is very gratifying to experience when a patient recovers theirs; this actuality is an immediate improvement of the quality of life of my patients and it is what I enjoy the most about my job.
