About me

Since I was in highschool I was inclined to the medicine field. I was hospitalized many times and I am currently a husband and father. Children are the greatest treasure we have as parents. This helps me to understand better the problems, anxieties and fears of my young patients and their parents. Therefore, I am not only a doctor but also a friend and advisor, mainly in the most difficult moments. I do all the studies necessary to achieve accurate diagnosis and management. I love the smiles that give me my patients and their families. I enjoy my job enormously.
