ABOUT

I always knew I wanted to make a real difference in people’s lives. That conviction, together with a family vocation for medicine, led me to serve through healthcare. In Orthopedic Surgery, I found the balance of craft and surgical precision needed to deliver solutions that translate into tangible, life-changing improvements. Since medical school, I gravitated to the shoulder and elbow. Their complexity and elegance, together with the guidance of excellent mentors, shaped my decision to focus my career on this field.

I believe specialization is essential to deliver up-to-date, safe, and effective care. It is not only a professional choice; it is an ethical commitment. I approach each case with precision, dedication, and meticulous attention to detail, aiming for outcomes that make a meaningful difference in patients’ lives.
