My greatest satisfaction as a physician is to have the opportunity to help people with difficult situations, such as health problems. In practicing medicine, I consider it extremely important to apply up-to-date scientific knowledge while at the same time attending to the person in a responsible and respectful manner. The fact that I have obtained two medical specialties (Internal Medicine and Geriatrics) gives me the opportunity to approach people by offering an additional value that results in an individualized, humanized assessment, diagnosis and treatment.
