From the Doctor:
I have been passionate about medicine since my early school years growing up in Colombia, where I attended one of the top medical schools in my country and worked as an emergency room physician. While completing my residency in Florida, where I was the recipient of a prestigious Maimonides Award for compassion and knowledge, I treated patients from many diverse cultural backgrounds.
I am passionate about providing high quality medical care, and creating strong physician-patient relationships. I have great interest in medical education, with past involvement in medical student and resident education.
I believe in evaluating the patient integrally and collaborating with specialist care, always looking for the best interest of my patients.
