About me

Since childhood I have liked to help people, now being an allergist I like being able to positively impact the quality of life of patients, many people do not know that most manifestations of the allergy can disappear with the appropriate treatment.
I currently work at the San Juan de Dios hospital in the Allergology Unit and work at the Herediana Medical Clinic and at the CIMA Hospital both for seven years.
